Don't think he's quite good enough in either position to nail down a place for us.Hopefully this means someone better is coming in.
I think he is a better midfielder, very accomplished on the ball, perhaps lacking only in pace..

Not good enough at either for L1.Strange though that his country think he is good enough for the National squad.

A little bit irrelevant, what if their squad is L2 standard?

I don’t know their squad well enough to comment, but I wasn’t the one who brought international football into it.

It can't be that hard to work out surely?*There's no such thing as international "level" - if you have a good pool of players then your level is high, and if you have a very limited pool of players then your level is considerably lower. Hence the point about Gibraltar etc.No disrespect meant to Northern Ireland who have punched quite significantly above their weight in recent years, but it's a misnomer to say that if you play at international level you must be good enough at a certain level of club football. Especially when you are a bit-part player for a relatively low quality international side.

I wonder what the odds are on Butler getting carded again tonight.That would be five in five matches and a suspension of course.Maybe someone will know whether any player has ever done that before, especially from the start of a season.
