nice reply by skeleton...we gamble bought young player in henderson...so bought mata also a gamble right?we have more than enough english player...henderson for RM/RW very unwise decision...i wonder.....is it KD choice or commoli choice?

well of cuz there are exceptions to players who do well to adapt right away. example of late, suarez and chicharito in manu. remind me again, how long did cristiano ronaldo took before he got going in bpl ? if memory served me right, he took about a season or two ? robinho came to england with a big reputation, was he a success in bpl? even KD was suprised of how well suarez adapted to premier league. carra too.
hendo's main position is cm, why KD started him against sunderland on the right, well, only he and steve clarke knows. it might be tactical i guess. it is easy for you guys to say, hey buy mata, hey buy A, buy B, but we must see whether the player suits the style KD wants to play, or if the player is interested in coming. i'm quite sure mata would have preferred champs league football. as far as i've read, commoli's style in targeting players is thru statistics, and also we are looking for players who have a better injury record. hendo isnt a gamble imo, he did well last season for his home club, earning himself a call up to capello's squad.
talking about the next gen series, its a good tourney esp for the kids to go on and compete among the best in europe and also be given a platform to express themselves. i watched the match, about 30 mins onwards, mind you we played really well 2nd half altho we lost 3-0. sporting lisbon did well first half to craved open our defence with some really well taken goals. the ones who caught my eye the most is sterling, u can feel the expectations and buzz whenever he receives the ball, gave the right back a torrid time till he was booked for a 'wrestling' tackle on raheem. we had a strong starting 11 with the likes of robinson and shelvey playing. shelvey was rather disappointing. ones to watch are wisdom, suso and krisztian adorjan. hope that the young team under rodolfo borrell will come good in the remaining 5 fixtures. im impressed that he instilled a never say die attitude in our players.
