it seems that not many people understand let alone appreciate what the role of a DM is and what a good one looks like. hargreaves is not only one of the best DMs out there in the world, but he does have more to his game than most other DMs imo. im sure everyone watched the WC when hargreaves was the only one hustling and attacking while the rest of the team was pathetic.

he already has been a good signing, so for those who feel they still aren't convinced with him.. you NEVER will. i honestly don't know what you guys were expecting, his performances so far have been quality and it's the way he's always played. as long as he continues to play the way he has so far then i'll be more than happy and so will SAF. he was our missing piece of the puzzle, and a good "option" for the games we'll really need him.

you can argue that tactically we don't need him, at least for certain games, but anyone questioning his quality as a player, at least as a Defensive mid, really is clueless.
