I like the news of his technical ability but above all else his decision making.

We need players who can create and deliver quickly decided upon passes to unlock tight defences. This will become more and more important as we progress.

Founding member of the national team too.

My thoughts exactly, he is very similar to Nasri. His best position is to play behind the striker, he can play as winger but he will not be very effective because he is not the very fast.
His favorite thing to do is to control the ball and find the right pass instead of carrying the ball and going past fullbacks.

had a couple of serious injuries?

got to think of the long term and the risks, plus he only signed a new 5 year deal 3/4 months ago, gonna cost a wad.

Chelsea just had a £14m bid rejected

Massive fan, he has extreme ball control. Some of tricks he pulls of make him look arrogant but if you watch him a lot he's more of a creator but has added goal scoring to his game this year.

Wouldn't pay more than 20m but he's definitely worth more than 15m.

He's more of a number 10 than a number 9. Playing behind the striker,Like RVP until recently.

Does a lot of one-two's, flicks, tricks and creates goals, but scores many as well.

Every time I see him he roams a lot so he seems versatile to play anywhere along the front line really.

In short, a Nasri :P

With testicles ;)

He looks like Terry McDermott
