I think he's a decent player when he's on form. When he is full of confidence he sprays the ball around and has a decent shot on him. It's so easy for players to pass sideways and backwards to retain the ball but it's forward thinking players who always get it in the neck, they're the risk takers of the game. There has been loads of games where I've seen him and he misplaced passes but he does have some bottle. 12m in this day and age is nothing, they do have some decent individual players at Newcastle. I'm interested to see how he will do, but McLaren will have to get consistency out of him. I always look at Colback as an example as he is bang average as a player but consistently performs for them, for where they are in the table you want that. I'm sure they will stay up either way
