He'll be a very important player for us as long as he stays fit. I am fairly sure he was one of Pep's foundational transfer targets and his unfortunate injury (which, despite media and embittered opposition supporter's reports to the contrary was unrelated to previous issues) derailed our system early on. Before that injury he was banging them in for fun and we were absolutely rampant. He had quite literally just got up to speed and then it had to go a bit stale.

Very excited to have him back in midfield.
 
I find it very surprising that there's any doubt at all that he's better than Fernandinho. Different class IMO.
 
Absolute quality player which showed before the injury last season, and actually showed the negative knock-on effect on the team when he did get injured.

We missed him greatly
 
Still not certain on him if i am honest. But those more informed than me tell me he is a class player. Seemed a bit in the Ian Scott mould to me last season at times! Tin Hat on.
 
Is he going to miss the beginning of the season then? I thought he would be fit and ready to go and would be like a new signing.

No mate he is one of those rare players that can find space and then seems to have time on the ball. Tommy Hutchison, Paul Lake and the two Silva's are/were the same - quality player whose only issue is injuries.
 
We didn't quite see the best of him last season as he was still finding his fitness when his knee went. If he could stay fit he'll be a fantastic signing.

Would that have been the Barca game that he seemed in the Ian Scott mould? Do you recall our game against Dortmund back in 2012, you know the one when Hart played a blinder because we were getting torn apart, do you recall who was tearing us apart in midfield? Ian Scott indeed!

Played with Ian Scott and he was class by the way but couldn't be a presence like a YAYA or dominate games. Like I said others more informed tell me he is great. I wasn't wowed from what I saw last season. And yes I was at both the games you refer to.

You're a hard man/woman to please if that's the case.
