Burnley supporting friends view on Florentino... on 11:50 - Aug 3 by LegendofthePhoenix
Well I for one don’t like the sound of this. We need a tough tackling interceptor, to keep the pressure off the back line by cleaning up balls in midfield. We have one already with Azor. We need at least one more, and this guy sounds like that’s what he does. But we also need him to then see the pass, and make the pass 85-90% of the time. Short passes, long passes, cross field balls, forwards, backwards, quick and neat. This guy clearly does not do that. We don’t need a £16M midfielder who can do half the job, we need a £30M player that can do the whole job.
85% successful passes last season; 88/89% the two previous seasons 65% accurate long balls last season; 75/77% in the two previous seasons.

The passing sideways and backwards is an interesting comment because i've seen Benfica fans say the exact opposite and I quote - '' he is one of the best in the league in terms of progressive passes, so his incredible passing % isnt because he just passes it sideways and back. ''
Do you think this was as a result of your system/manager/players you had?
It could well have been. Parker seemed to ruin quite a few players with not attacking. It could be that he hadn't played in the Premier before and, according to the left back we have just let go to Espanyol on loan, the Premier isn't very technical. He is a good bloke though. Very religious and a family man. Came across well on a video the club posted. He was also prepared to play in the Championship if a bid didn't come in. No moaning or kicking up a stink.
