Horc wrote “The most negative winger ever to play for us.” Unfortunately Valencia didn’t have the pleasure of playing under Martinez “I am sure he would have thrived under him as has Charlie.”
The only fair comparison then is Valencia V N’Zogbia under Bruce
Season 2008/9
Valencia 31 league matches played 3 goals
N’Zogbia 13 League matches played 1 goal
Valencia was the better defending player than Charlie, am sure that Mario Melchiot would agree with that statement. Personally I think both players records under Bruce relate more to his style of play than the ability of both players.
