    Everything that man does oozes class. Such a visionary player we have.

    One day I can see him being as good as Pirlo.

    That side foot shot today deserved a goal.

    It was a very good attempt.

    He is class. No doubt about that.

    if he went the talking starts at £100m surely.

    I had feeling though that the way he was treated by us over the gambling has cemented the relationship a bit like the connection with Bruno and big Joe.

    He's a top player so he'd cost a packet

    He’s over rated. Anyone paying over 100m would be an idiot….

    But he’s our idiot. Hands off.

    Love players like this. His work rate is exceptional and his reading of the game top class. Makes so many interceptions by seeing where the ball is going before anyone else.

    Yep. seems to be a yard ahead of most players due to his intelligence.

    So how do we explain the speed of PB in moving out of the way of Chuckerpint Hamish throwing a pint of lager at me just because my trousers were similar to a holiday Mackem Playboy’s mustard chinos?

    Love the lad, seriously can't remember a CM as good as him in the last 20 years for us - does it all, tackles, blocks, tracking back to cover the full backs, his passing and touch, his shots and goals, assists, hell even the runs he makes off the ball looking to receive in pockets or just to create space. - the guy's got the whole package.

    The effort this weekend, left footed on the volley as it comes over his shoulder to try and loop it over the keeper with a chipped lob from there on his weaker foot is something not many would even attempt, let alone get on target and force a good save.

    Easy. Because he knew it was coming. He's the one who told Hamish to throw it over you.

    given you were the one who got wet I’d say your reflexes are slow so you are the opposite to Sandro… everyone else is well ahead of you and often in a different postcode.

    As you say he's got all the tools. Would be good if we can get a bit more output in terms of goal contributions out of him. Regardless, what a player!

    The postcode has nothing to do with speed…
