General discussion

with all the transfer rumours etc I just wonder would you miss him if we sold him? he has talent no doubt but does tend to want to dribble past 5/6 players not get his head up and make a pass when options on....he can be very good and then just be average...frustrating player and now our other players coming back to fitness he is dropping down the pecking order.....so would you be tempted to sell or stick with him as a back up?

If we need to strengthen in

If we need to strengthen in the January window and need to raise funds, then I would sell him, for the above reasons, however if Slav thinks the squad is strong enough now then hang onto him until the summer, just in case.

Can't see a reason to let

Can't see a reason to let anyone who has played this season go, unless there is a better replacement lined up. So yes I'd sell him if we were getting a better more suited replacement but if not then no I wouldn't.

I'm not convinced by him

And the more the players extol the virtues of the "team ethic" the more I see Zarate marginalised. He'll go back abroad.

Liability

Not a Team layer and too selfish, the number of times he ran into trouble and gave the ball away was a joke!

Hes a special talent

Hes a special talent ,remarkable ball skills ,yer sure he does have a tendency to hold on to long but the so did Maradona

He ain't Maradona though,

He ain't Maradona though, more's the pity!

No only Sting holds on longer

No only Sting holds on longer I think you'll find, much more like Sting than Maradona.........

Very good Boogers!

Like it...

Remarkable ball skills?

When was that? He likes to run at people with his head down and every now and then he pulls off so better off moving on IMO.

Never my type of player.

Never my type of player. Selfish, runs into trouble, constantly forgets he has teammates too much of a luxury for the Premier League. Good goals against CHelsea, Arsenal and WBA but that's it he is not bigger than the club and he ís not up to scratch most of the time. If we can get money for him I'd say bite their hands off.
