In this current time, probably you would not go wrong if you claim JM is one of the best in his position as DM destroyer. Dont forget he is the captain of Argentina as well. He should least know that rafa 'rescued' him when he was at west ham and gave him the chance to play for one of the most supported teams. THis also allowed to show everyone his true abilities and as much as i hate to say, i do not want to see him go to any other team unless its in the argentina league.

If its true his wages is 30K per week, then i feel its not unreasonable for JM to ask for increment in line with his contribution to the team's performance. I dont tink he will 'purposely' play badly if he stays at pool as its also a WC year and he is the appointed captain. if his performances suck really bad, even maradona may drop him la..

There are usually alot of nonsense rumours created by all the agents in order to make a mountain out of a molehill. So lets hope rafa values JM and gives him improved terms and keeps the axis of the midfield together-- JM + XA (world class)
