Summer mercato 2012

[ACMILAN1983]

Personally, I am a huge fan of Urby. I would love to keep him in the squad for the next few years.

1) He's 21?
2) There's no pressure on him as his wages are very low and came for almost nothing.
3) He is improving alot progressively.
4) He doesn't complain from being a bench player.
5) Very versatile player, can cover a few positions and can help us change formations if need be.
6) Has qualities that none of our midfielders have - no one can dribble like him for example.
7) Work rate is very impressive, he never gives up and keeps trying.

What's not to like?

1) Urby's 25
2) That's not a bonus. I'm personally not interested in finances so much as I am for the quality of the squad/team
3) I can't agree. I see little improvement in him over the past year and he adds too little in the side to warrant a place imo
4) Not strictly true, he wanted to leave on loan but stayed to fight for a place. Bonera also doesn't complain about being on the bench might I add.
5) Urby's versatile yes, but he's the definition of a basic utility man who has flexibility but brings little overall influence/quality
6) That for me shows a deficiency in our midfield overall. If a pretty average player like Urby is the best at dribbling in our midfield, then for me it's a weakness in our midfield set up
7) Fair enough, he's not lazy

edit: geo got in first
