A must buy for us this summer in my opinion. Really really top player in his own right currently but has lots of potential to get even better. Closest player I've seen to Zizou.

That video astounded me. Yes youtube can make players look great who are shit, but you can't edit the control he shows on the ball. Simply worldclass, both footed, great composure, awareness, skill, shot. That backheel Slim mentioned made my jaw drop.

What position is he/Whose position would he take?

PLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SIGN HIM!

That goal against PSG is one of the greatest goals of all time imo and he has close control like no-one else I have ever seen. He's like a ballet dancer on the ball and still only 23!!!

Seen him play loads of times and can guarantee you that he will not make it in the prem. He looks good on occasions but the prem pace would kill him. He is consistently inconsistent and not a player I would want us to buy.

Samaras should have taught you all a lesson!

he's still only 23 and could definitely adapt to the prem.

Tell us more WW. What happens when he's off his game? Does he not get it? Does he run out of ideas?

... when he'll be the star player and his value will go up by 20 million. I've seen him a few times, though admittedly not more than 4 or 5, and he's looked world class to me. I'm sure if we're in for him our scouts have properly evaluated whether or not he'll be a success in the Prem. I personally think he's a future world superstar. You clearly dont. We agree to disagree. I hope City buy him before the world cup!

I'm in same group. I've seen him maybe 6 or 7 times as well and (and in Eurogoals basically on weekly basis scoring or creating) and he has looked bees knees every time. I mean proper World class. I don't say WW is wrong but from what I've seen he'd be perfect for us.

What you have to remember with creative players is that they'll always have off games in same frequency. Top players have maybe one off game in four, whereas average players have off game every other game. But they all have them.

Also, this past season he seemed to play against two holding midfielders on weekly basis as oppositio figured their tactics. He'd never have that in England and with us as we have enough talent on wings and up front.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I think Wonderwall is talking out of his rectum, personally.
