I have seen tons of comments about how we could do with a player like malbranque, he has more assists than Modric this season he is more determined than most of our players, he was good for tottenham we should never have got rid of him.
Some people have such short memories, for those that can't remember:-
- Malbranque played on the left hand side of a four man midfield
- He had no pace and rarely tried to beat his player
- He generally kept possession of the ball by mostly taking the player on realising he didn;t have the pace to beat him or the left foot to cross it in so he promptly turned back and passed it to a LB or CM.
- He worked hard and provided cover to the left back
- He was outshone by lennon on the other side and was frequently targeted as the weakest link in the midfield.
On this site and fans who watched at the time was criticised for not being capable of taking us to the next level and certainly would not get into any of the top 4 teams. When he got the ball as a fan did we really expect anything to happen, did we think when the teamsheet was announced oh good Malbranque is playing.
So there are bound to be a few people who genuinely thought Malbranque was a good player, but he was not as a good as what people think he was. Tottenham are a big club there is more pressure in playing for tottenham than there is for Sunderland. So maybe Malbranque is happier there so lets just move on and put his performance for tottenham into perpective and most of all just leave him where he is...
