I posted this on the ratings thread after I had described Parker as 'limited'
I think that that would be a fair definition of 'limited'
Your words 'jack of all trades; master of none'
He is one paced; one footed; cannot turn on the ball; rarely makes an incisive pass; his tackling is Palaciosotic at times.
Does have good positional discipline and plays the short return pass well.
He is a decent stop gap and for a first game did well yesterday.
A journeyman footballer which makes him 'limited' to me.
He may indeed be what we need for the time being with the transfer of Palacios and the unavailability of Sandro and until we can sign a genuinely quality player.
The Footballer of the Year claim by the 'Football Writers is a joke award. Most of us spend the year bemoaning the rubbish that they write.
England mainly by default and only just.
That doessn't make O'Hara better though I agree,
But he is more mobile, has a better shot, delivers a good dead ball
and has more 'vision' about the game.
He also does not have a side parting.
*sighs*

Is he an upgrade on Sandro, then the answer would have to be no. The thing that worries me is that I think Harry will pick Parker over Sandro and have a midfield of
Lennon - Parker - Modric - Bale
