If he started to demand his box more, he'd be one of the very best.

Still, quality goalie, love him!

USA! USA! USA!

What, like...

"I want my box. NOOO!!!! I want it now,where'smy box.....give me my BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOXXXXXXXXXXXXX,i'll scream, waahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

Like that?

They really used to command their box more twenty years ago. But twenty years ago not every set-piece was preceded by a ten-man brawl in the box for position and they had more time to communicate as well.

And the ball never moved like a 10 bob 'shoot 5' from the paper shop!!

I meant command.

Fucks sake Azza.

For me he is the closest player we have to being a world class player. One of Moyesie's best signings, 3m is an incredible bargain.

Above Arteta? Very strange

Arteta is amazing for us because he's adapted to a more physical game without losing any of the flair.

I don't think he could reproduce the same form in a different league, in Spain he'd probably be one of the "good but not exceptional" midfielders.

(At the end of the day it depends on how you define "closest" anyway. Closest on some measurement of ability? Or having the fewest players in your position between you and the top?)

I'm shocked that someone can call Howard inconsistent.

Surely its got to be on ability, Arteta is already World Class

I don't think so. World-class for me means someone like Torres, Zidane, Henry, Kaka or Gerrard. As much as I love Arteta, he's not in the same bracket.

[biziclop]

Dont agree

Which part you don't agree with? That Arteta isn't on the same level as Zidane or Kaka or my definition of world-class?

1st bit, not arguing with you lad

Fair enough. It would be easier to tell if he was called up in the Spanish squad and played in a World Cup or Euros.
