Robert Pires, Born 29/1/1973: Left Midfielder

Robert Pires has surprised me, as I never thought he would be able to replace Overmars adequately. I now believe that he will be better than Overmars, as he is much more consistent, and works more for the team than Overmars ever did. I think that despite Overmars being a brilliant player when he was at his best, most of the time he couldn't be bothered, and he was actually one of our weak points last season. Pires doesn't have this weakness, as he always works hard for the team, and is very creative. He isn't as fast as Overmars, but is still fairly quick, and is strong when running with the ball. He can pass well and puts in good crosses. He also helps out with the defence.
