He always caught my eye when he played for spurs. Not afraid of putting his foot in and not take no prisoners.
Comes on as a sub, gets a few cheeky runs and step overs in, maybe has a shot on goal. They'll be rocking and we will be buzzing.
He's coming into a very positive dressing room, with a clearly very nice man managing the club with a hands off director. It might see him thrive.
I have a feeling hes another ben arfa and will never learn, but its worth a punt... we cant get a player as good with a good attitude
ha ha, and who could forget the mercurial Albert Luque? For every murphy and muto there will be a cabaye, ben arfa and merino tho so we all live in hope, that's why ashley is still ****ing here and in no rush to sell. We really are magpies in the true sense of the word....Ooooooh look, something ****ing new and shiney....we'll have that ! Is he likely to be better than some of the players we currently have on our books....lets take a look :- Atsu - without a shadow of a ****ing doubt Shelvey - most likely. Shelvey is too inconsistent, if this lad can be half as good as shelvey could be but do it week in week out that'll do for me. Ki - ****ing obvs Aarons - see Ki Colback - ****ing give owa I've left Hayden out as he actually puts the effort in week in week out, pops up with the odd goal and does a reasonable job for a squad player (he ain't no purple player tho). If he really turns out to be absolute pony then no harm done, he can **** off back to Schalke in 4 months time, simples.
Be interesting to see where he fits in to the team. If sticking with 5-4-1 he's fighting Hayden or Shelvey for a starting spot with Ki and the Longstaff brothers moving down the pecking order I suppose. If going 5-3-2 then where do ASM and Almiron fit into the team? St max up top off a CF and Miggy in one of the three spots leaving the aforementioned fight for the other 2 spaces. Also we have a 25 man squad, I get Jethro and possibly Dummy will probably be left out now but it means 2/3 of the current squad are on the way out if we get Bentaleb and the inter winger/fullback in plus a mystery player.
Him and jono in the middle i suspect.. think he will start vs oxford or get a sub appearance ... dont see our system changing.. dunno why we would.. it works
