Thought this guy deserved a thread, recently been classed as the PLs most under-rated player. Would fit well in our team IMO, would be relatively cheap and still young. Thoughts please?

Statistics painstakingly counted by football website Squawka shows four players are by far the most under-appreciated stars
Shaun BotterillCaptain Morgan: Schneiderlin has been revealed as one of the most undervalued stars in the Premier League
Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has been revealed as the Premier League's most undervalued player.
Research conducted by football website Squawka shows the Frenchman to be one of the most underrated players in England.
Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta also features as does Everton forward Kevin Mirallas, while Sunderland goalkeeper Vito Mannone completes the four-man list.
According to Squawka's analysis, Saints star Schneiderlin has so far completed 1,107 passes - more than the likes of Mikel Arteta and Michael Carrick, two midfielders hailed for their ability to pass.
While team-mates Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert and Jay Rodriguez have been at the front of the queue for praise this season, the 24-year-old Schneiderlin has won 175 tackles - more than anyone else in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Blues forward Mirallas, who has scored five goals and chimed in with five assists this term, has created 49 chances for the Toffees.
The Belgian has completed 40 take-ons, which is more than Samir Nasri, Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla, three players famed for their artistry with the ball.
Chelsea defender Azpilicueta has averaged more defensive blocks, clearances and interceptions than team-mates John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic.
Sunderland stopper Mannone has averaged over four saves a game for the Black Cats which is more than any other in the division.
The Italian has kept eight clean sheets since becoming Gus Poyet's number one. Only Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny has kept more.
Such is Mannone's influence on Sunderland, they have picked up 20 points in 16 games compared to just four in nine when he hasn't played.
