    Default Player's that seem to get better by not playing

    Just thought of this after watching Steve Harper playing for Newcastle today.

    He was definitely one that over the years seemed to get better by not playing.

    Same could be applied to Fulop for us when Gordon was having a bit of a dodgy spell in his first year for us.

    Micah Richards seems to be another, seems to be in everyone's next England team despite not playing all that much for Man City last season

    Harper is a good keeper. Just not as good as shay. Micah Richards is an excellent player.

    Flop was only overrated because he's OK and didn't cost £9m

    Richards has been poor since he got injured a while back, because he isn't playing every week it's hard to get back into form

    There's no way that Fulop can be considered a flop

    Steve Harper is a good prem standard keeper.
