At the height of his praise in the UK media for his amazing stats and performances in his debut year for Dortmund. I watched his first game on these shores against the Spuds in the 2nd-leg of a Chumps knockout, he was anonymous (mitigating circumstances in that he may have been back from an injury or a spell out due to indiscipline issues at the time)
Two years later his performance in the friendly against Romania reminded me of that Chumps game, with Glenda creaming over his ball touches that amounted to nothing and what he could provide in an England shirt.
He's going to be the new £90m summer bargain transfer because he's worth double in real-life if he ends up at the RAGS according to Kaveh and his Sky Sports sauces, if he does well in the Euro's or for the RAGS, the press will be jabbing into the sides of Pep and City for letting him go.
