Highly controversial I know, but think Maguane is overrated. Compare him with Brannigan and the influence, consistency and output is miles apart, and without a shadow of a doubt MM is more talented. He has the athletic and technical ability;, he's been given a chance in a number of positions now in a 2 and a 3 in the middle, and despite being excellent for 15 games at the start of both this season and last i personally think he's massively, massively, flattered to deceive. His output his awful, and yes yes i know 'he's a 'DM' .............but he's hardly Claude Makelele is he? (who btw has a similar goals games ratio)
The 'he makes us' tick thing i don't buy either. He's playing now and we are not ticking.
Not saying he's rubbish, far from it, and he gets in out best 11 of course, but personally i don't get the hype.
