1 - No doubt about it, he will be our most important player in the PL as consistency is vital in his position.
1 - think we're gonna rely heavily on his workrate in midfield alongside Derry - good distribution too - a true PL quality player, with plenty more of maturing left in him - could end up a real superstar, and a bargain at whatever price we paid for him!
His passing and reading of the game is top quality, i worry about lack of pace in the middle needs someone to do the leg work next to him, very creative.
No-one's mentioned his supershot yet, or his brilliant free-kicks. OK, he's never scored a free-kick, but I've only seen him take 2 free-kicks all year. The one against Coventry, I still wonder how that didn't go in, and the one against Hull, a brilliant save from the keeper.
