Re: Assignon, Esteve and Fofana
The amount of fans who don't think Esteve is an improvement on Ekdal or O'Shea shows how little fans understand about football compared to those in the industry. Never compared him with any other player. O'Shea has got himself a regular start in the team. That's because the other CH's are injured o...

What do you mean when you say 'I think there is a player in there'? It doesn't make any sense whichever way it is considered. As for the three players mentioned let all three go back to their clubs though I believe we are stuck with Esteve so that's a pity.
