Boateng is going to be amazing!

really impressed with his confidence above all else. confident on the ball and confident going forward. I too would like him at CB but uhh....that cross was sublime!

His football is very mature though he's young.

I'd like to see him combine with Balotelli.

Easily the best defender in the world for his age. What makes it all the more better is that of hes so good at the age of 20 imagine how good he can be when he gets older and gains more experience. Best city buy this summer imo.

I'm impressed with Boateng! Not just because of his abilities (which had me convince prior to his arrival) but because of his synergistic effect with Micah.

IMHO we have a tandem duo (RB/CBs) that will terrorise our slow footed opponents & interchange positions effectively.

Its important to realize that the deployment of certain players does not bring out the best in their teammates. Case in point NDJ & Barry (resulting in a dire midfield combination) or Bellamy & Bridge (make 'monkeys' out by Lennon et al or even Donavon) on our left flank.

Will be awesome at either full back or centre back, looking at his goal the power he ran down that side with and his cross was incredible!

Can anyone find some examples of Boateng's long throw? I need some evidence that he can throw it very far.

I was just about to say that I was pleased to see that he had a good long throw. I know it isn't to everyone's taste but if needs must, being able to hurl the ball into the box from a distance will be very useful. The one he did against Valencia looked effortless, so I assume he can launch it considerably further.
