I wasn't exactly overwhelmed when I first heard that he was on his way. I wanted a replacement for Yaya, a massive signing like Pogba. then he got injured straight away and had fitness issues. By the time he was backin the squad, I was legitimately excited to see what he could do. (Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I guess.) Now I've got to see him in action, I can see what my friends were saying about his ability, He must've been head and shoulders above the rest at Villa, a team I've not been taking too much notice of in recent years. He's got a skill set very similar to Chelsea's Ramires, I feel (a well rounded CM arsenal leaning more toward the attacking side of the game.)
I'm glad we bought him. Reminds me of a mate of mine too actually :) Absolutely charisma-less but it's so easy to see that he's a really nice guy.
