    Quite a few canny goals in there.

    Looks like a real prospect.

    Obviously he's been playing in a much worse league, but the potential is there.

    just about to link to this, looks a bit tricky, but also in good positions in the box poaching, granted not in a countries top division, loved the vision to chip the keeper striking it early after skinning a player @ 1:20 :) - that sort of thought and quick action in a player is dangerous

    To be honest, I'd be a lot happier if he was a little bit younger. At 22, I mean, he's still young but not... the sort of age you'd think "he's got so much time ahead of him".

    At 22 you'd expect him to be making his mark at PL level now or soon.

    He's only for a free, and I have faith with our scouts. Hopefully he'll be playing the Guthrie role soon enough. I think Abeid and Romain were signed as center midfielders to bolster the squad up for Europe.

    They have a lot of promise.

    22 should certainly be starting to pull those tricks and score like that in a top European league, so now is his chance

    At 22 he's almost over the hill, you must be starting to feel your age too Tash, it's catching up on you.

    Aye 20. Haha. At 20, If I was a football player, I'd be hoping to make a few sub apps and starting to get recognised.

    At the moment I'm in a part time job, but it's a great job, and it could lead to a great job in the future. ;) It's with the NHS who aren't amazing at the moment, especially under the current government, but I share shifts with 2 other people.

    Both of them are old women, maybe retiring soon. So Maybe I'll take over their hours and I'll make a life out of this job. I love it, it's permenant, but eventually I'd love it to be full time.

    21 is the new 11.

    This is true having seen some of the latest examples of 18 year old in my local. These pussys cant even look old enough or look me in the eye.

    squeeky voiced little cretins!!! they speak like a mouse and have to repeat themselves when asking for a pint ffs.

    Looks good, a lot of counterattacking runs into the box to score, will suit our style.

    My guess is he's been signed as cover/competetion/rotation/whatever for Cabaye, he looks more of a forwards midfielder than a holding player.

    He could potentially be a fantastic impact player.

    Yeah, bring him on for Jonas and have a full attacking front five if needed. Or for one of Ba/Cisse and have him with Benny in the hole if we need more men in midfield.

    My only concern is that he looks very similar to Vuckic.

    Administration type job.

    And it's great. It's not like my old job, boring and linear. It includes a variety of different activities, like communicating with patients, maintaining databases, filing documents, assisting the manager ect.

    My last job was just a spreadsheet of data needed to be input and thats it.

    I was depressed as **** in my last job, and this job I've got now is so much better for me, even though it's half the hours and pays less.

    Agreed. **** money, as long as you have enough to be comfortable it is the last thing that should be worried about.

    A psychology lecturer once said that a winner isn't a millionaire.... It's the guy who may set a goal of smoking loads of hash in a teepee in the desert..... And goes on to do just that...
