I called him raw on the evidence I saw before he signed. Yesterday he did look pretty damned assured of his mission, and his touches and techniques, which were always impressive but seemed to be used a bit randomly, were a lot more organised and smooth than I expected. He kept it clean, orderly and looked really focused and aware. Evidence of him being more of a heads up player than I expected, when carrying the ball into the box he several times had the balance and vision to playing sharp little low balls into dangerous areas. I expected a box of fireworks going off, I got a neat choreographed display. He looked a quality, refined footballer. Well done indeed.
Everyone should try to keep in mind that when Pep and co. look at a player they look at him as to what he can do here and how he would fit with us, not necessarily based strictly on how he may look at Leipzig, Wolves, Rennes, or wherever...look at Antony, look at Sancho and then look at Doku. It tells ya all one needs to know about our ability to bring in high end quality without breaking the bank. We operate millions of miles from where the media and opposing supporters try to put on us. And that's great. Let them say and believe(?) whatever they want as it allows us to keep playing chess against basically 2 year olds...you have to love it...
 
Given his name seems rather appropriate...to the Pearl Jam tune, Jeremy!

So what you're saying is that we see what they can't see or something to that effect.
 
people keep repeating the word "raw" and I gotta say I don't quite understand what that means. looks mature as hell to me. doesn't enter battles he can't win, doesn't aimlessly dribble but always with a sense of purpose. slows the game down when necessary, increases the tempo when necessary.


45 mins where he was by far our best player, mind..
I don't think he is raw. Just not as sublime technique wise as some of our players. But he brings something different.
