So we've seen a lot of this guy over the past year to form a judgement on him.

Reason I raise this is I saw a tweet which described him as not creative and can't score, more of a Gattuso type. This tweet was arrogantly ridiculed and mocked, but it got me thinking.

It's true that he isn't creative. I was wrong to think he had that in his locker. He cannot pick out a pass, and he won't dribble through a hundred players. He can't thread the ball through the eye of a needle either, but it would be a bit of a disservice to call him like Gattuso, as, hard working though he is, he has more ability and doesn't spend all his time harrying opponents.

If I had to sum Bona up it would be as a link man, a support man. He is always in space, always ready to take the ball in the opposition half and keep a move going. He won't do much flashy with it, he'll rarely score, and his shooting isn't the best, but he works hard covering so much grass that he's always available to other players as an outlet when they need it.

Thoughts?
