Re: Sandro - Legend
I struggle to believe that people want Parker back in the first team ahead of Sandro. Parker is one of those players that can do what they do well, they make the most of their defensive ability but he's not the player that he used to be. When he first came to the scene, he was a solid box to box attacking midfielder but somewhere along the line his attacking skills were minimised and now he's simply effective at what he does, wins the ball back and passes it simple, he is the water carrier style player and very effective at that.
Sandro, however, is a different beast entirely, he is at a higher level and potentially World class. Sandro has strength, wins important challenges, has good positioning and can also break forward and make his presence known. Sandro is a different beast in terms of quality albeit he has a very similar skills set but better. Sandro will continue to get better as the years go by too, he will be a better player in 3 seasons time when he is 26? Parker will be likely ready for a Championship club in three years time. For me, Sandro is the first choice out of the pair. There is of course debate, otherwise we wouldnt be having the discussion but Sandro is my pick.
