That's true. We'll have to get Gorst a gimmick.

Is the 'insightful commentator' gimmick taken? cause if not I'll take that.

I don't know. Massive bell ends up for grabs, though.

No it isn't. Zlatan's got that one in the bag.

cf "biggest cunt on the site"

Hahahaha.

Gorst, all of this will become clear soon enough...

Ha. I like the use of Massive Zlatan. It's mean but kinda funny and Zlatan seems to like the attention anyway.

As for Maxi, I've summed him up in numerous threads and the gist of it is usually the following;

He is a lovely complimentary intelligent footballer who will link up with others around him. He needs movement from team mates to induce his own game which is a bit of a worry. It's no coincidence that his best run of games coincided with our decent run of games last season.
He doesn't have any unique attributes to take the game to the opposition on his own. He is a fine freebie and squad player but it is a bad sign when he needs the team to be playing well if he is to contribute. He can be a passenger in games when we are soaking up pressure and he won't flourish under Roy unless the gameplan is altered into a more attacking set up.

Babel should play ahead of him at the moment since he has pace and something different about him.

Would anyone swap Chris Eagles for Maxi?

I think, like Yossi Benayoun, Chris Eagles is an under-rated player.

In the admittedly few times I have seen him, Eagles comes across as flashy with no end product.

And he was formerly an ex Scum too.

Agreed. He seems to be on the bench enough as well... even at that level.
