keithgersbear 3,225 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Song has improved a lot. In the next 18 months, i think he will be even better. Its not Songs fault for Arsenals poor form against Utd and Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Who's blaming Song? I like him, still think Fletcher is a better player.He (Song) will get a move to a big club one day! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearethemighty 186 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Fletcher is a class player. Excellent at his job. To say he's shite 'cos he doesn't perform for Scotland is folly! Is Roy Keane not world class 'cos he wasn't as good for eire? As they say form is temporary class is permanent and Fletcher is class, he'd walk into any team in the cl!

PaulRFC1 115 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Darren Fletcher is not a world class footballer.He is a good defensive midfielder but world class is a bit of a stretch. He is so limited. Poor passing range, decent tackler, isn't creative and only chips in with a few goals a season. Busquets, Mascherano, Cambiasso, Khedira, Toure, Palacios, Felipe Melo, Song, De Jong, Tymoschuk, Van Bommel are all better than him. And theres more.He's had a poor season. The amount of strain put on the Man Utd defence is unreal and that's because their midfield is poor and they don't break up too many attacks. I think Anderson was miles better than him on Monday anyway and he could play there no bother. Has great energy, can tackle and can start counter attacks.In bold are better than Fletcher.I rated him second but I hadn't really thought into it and forgot about Khedira and Cambiasso.No way Palacios, Melo, De Jong, Song or Tymoshcuk are better.Van Bommel and Toure are close but I would still say Fletcher is a bit better.He is great tackler and there is nothing wrong with his passing, very energetic aswell.Don't really see were being creative and scoring goals comes into play.

Amac9 2,060 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Would Darren Fletcher look as good if he was playing at say Stoke or Wigan?At Utd he runs around and passes the ball to Rooney, Scholes, Giggs, Berbatov, Anderson etc who make things happen.

Fletcher is very limited and it's only when hes a midfield 3 that he can play to a decent standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher is very limited and it's only when hes a midfield 3 that he can play to a decent standard.I never said that.And I disagree with the rest.Its not a massive exaggeration its an opinion.To me being world class is being one of the top players in the world in your position and to me he is.I totally disagree, he fits in very well in 4-4-2 and arguably plays his best stuff when beside Scholes.
