Fuck me, can't believe anyone thought he was any good tonight. OK, he can pass it, well, about 5 yards, but as for winning it...utter shite. Slow as fuck, never a PL player and certainly not what WHU needs.

Great passer and more importantly doesn´t get pulled form pillar to post out of position exposing his defence like a certain Senegalese player i know!!

As my colleague at work observed when we watched the match this evening - "He is a bit like Carlton Palmer but without the first touch of a rapist"

He gave the ball away once, but found his man every other time, and always shows for the ball. He keeps very cool in the tightest of situations and is never bullied off the ball.
I rate him, but he needs quality around him and pace, because he’s not a speed monster. He trusts his team mates, which he can do with Portugal. He wouldn’t have made a huge difference for us last season with the other midfielders we had, as the balls he certainly would have passed to them wouldn’t have stuck, except with Noble, but the two of them together would have left us slower than ever.

Not the heel snapping injection of energy our midfield needs.

I was thinking that too. Six months ago it was a case of ‘pay them what they want’ and now he’s available on a free he’s suddenly dog shit!

That's the point though isn't it? Sullivan was castigated by everyone including me, for fucking up the Carvalho deal. Yet maybe he was just offering a realistic figure and we fans just believed the hype of a player's reputation off You Tube highlights.
The reality is that he's an average player and wasn't worth the £35m Sporting were asking.

NS - agreed. It's weird though. I can't be bothered to look it up now, but I distinctly remember seeing a youtube compilation in which he looked like a dynamic, box-to-box, commanding player with a real presence. Last night he seemed to be playing well within himself, rarely moved faster than a slow jog, played short, simple passes very effectively but offered nothing more than that, really. Maybe that's what he was told to do last night. It'll be interesting to see how he plays against the weaker sides in the group.

He's being judged on one game where his team were outclassed by the best team at ball retention in the world?
From the glimpses I saw of him I would have him over a 35 year old Toure!

Everyone bangs on about Dendonker but I guarantee that hardly anyone on here could even pick him out of a line up.

"I am a scout because I watched a World Cup game" syndrome is back again.
If we were to sign him or not, I expect it will be based on more than one performance.

Carvalho is clearly a step up on what we have. As people have said, he was very neat and tidy without any thrills.
If he'd been constantly breaking up play, going box to box, looking like he was going to score all the time, guess what - he'd be playing for a top, top team Like Barcelona or Real Madrid. Essentially, that was who he was up against last night.
At best, we're a mid table Premier League team - we need to remember this.

I watched the match for a 2nd time, paying particular attention to Carvalho.
He runs like a 70 year old. He hardly made a tackle in the whole match and made no attempt to track players. He'd get slaughtered in the Premier league. To be fair, he's good in possession, but that's not enough. We need a Kante-type player, not him.

It's pretty funny that some people think Noble is better than this geezer.
Nearly as funny as the bloke on KUMB that said Arnautovic is the closest thing he'd seen to Drogba.
