He can only be compared to Mascherano as he is a completely different player to the others. By the end of this season, I will be able to compare the two. Both can tackle, and neirther of them can pass.
Palacios? Don't be daft. What are his strengths?
Fletcher? Ireland and Barry are better. Why does Fletcher look Championshiop class while playing for Scotland?
Since you only give a player a few months (far be it from me to call an out-of-towner fickle), I can then say that Valencia and Obertan are rubbish.
Palacios breaks up play well and drives his team forward and has given Spurs so much needed steel since he went there.
Fletcher is not a star player as such and therefore would not stand out in a poor side like Scotland. However put him in Utd's side and he looks an excellent player who can be used in several roles but is most effective as either a holding player to employed to break up the oppositions attacks or as a box to box type player. Barry is a good comparison but Ireland is just an attacking player imo and whether or not they are better is debateable.
A few months? He joined in Jan didn't he? Also I never said he was rubbish, I like him as a player and even before he joined City but I just happen to rate other players either the same or better. You might be right about Valencia and Obertan, I still find that Valencia does not produce an end product enough aalthough he is improving and Obertan has looked quite good but has only had an hour or two's football so impossible to form an opinion.
