    Thought Agustien was going to really show up this season under Rodgers .Will he get lost in the manager shuffle ? Was looking forward to seeing him a bit more regular this season , now I'm not so sure we will

    He has talent and can pass the ball which will please ML. He also offers some midfield beef which I believe we lack. ML knows what he wants but he has also said that he will take a look at what we've got, so Agustien will have his chance to impress - along with the other players.

    Kemy Augustien has never done anything wrong as far as I am concerned. He was unlucky to get injured before Christmas and then Siggy dominated the position in the second half of the season. I hope he does get a change under Laudrup because he always looked strong, could pass the ball and sometimes we need a bit more ‘beef’ as you said in midfield.

    Through the doors of the physio room, I'd imagine!

    Good player, doomed to be perennially injured I feel.

    Suffered a bit under Brendan's "This is my first choice XI and I'm always going to pick it" approach. Should have featured more when Joe started getting heavy legged or we needed a bit more steel than Leon could provide.

    Hopefully ML will see him as I do. A talented player with a hell of a lot to offer us.

    An excellent player who looked good from the day he joined us. Why the **** he was sent out on loan to Palace is beyond me though others were thumping 'the manager's right' drum at the time I seem to recall. Whatever, it's history.

    But I do think he's more of a holding midfielder who can do a job away from home or when we're holding onto a lead. We definitely need an attacking midfielder to provide an option going forward imo.

    I wasn't aware that Agustien was sent out to Palace? Thought he was injured last season, but if he was, maybe he needed to get his fitness back at a lower level, hope we see more of him this season, but he is injury prone player!............... <ok>

    In the Championship he was loaned to Palace at the end of the season, think he came back from injury and it was seen as a risk to put him in to get match fitness. I was of the same opinion as Knackered at the time, though it all turned out right in the end.

    I remember thinking , as the season winded down , we sure could have used a healthy Agustien along the way for certain games & began hoping he would stay healthy for the coming season for Rodgers . Exit Rodgers , enter Laudrup , enter a healthy Agustien & who knows now . A really feel Agustien has a huge untapped potential , that along with a bit of grit we lacked against some of ruffian teams has me hoping he can realize that potential with Laudrup .
