Now that we've had a chance to see the lad play what does everyone think?

I know the lad has only played one game but I thought he looked quite good and he passed well under pressure, although I haven't seen enough of his defending and he got in the way of Alonso for the Ferdinand goal last week, I guess the lad is also still getting used to the zonal marking.

[HacksawJimDuggin]

Saw enough of he guy on debut to see he is very comfortable on the ball. The physical side of his game will have to improve as he looked a little lightweight. We could say that of any player arriving to the Premiership though.

Reserve judgement for a few games I think!!

[drummerphil]

be honest with you,i was so annoyed at how we played at Portsmouth and bored rigid his performance passed me by,i will be more observant tonight.

[ivor_the_injun]

He looked alright to me. Must be a little awkward finding his feet at a new club when his first outing was at right mid as opposed to right back, but on the ball he looked very comfortable, his passing was crisp and he covered a hell of a lot of ground.

Certainly a hell of a lot tidier with the ball than Josemi.

[El Nino_#9]

i'll reserve my judgement until he has played a couple more games.
so far he hasn't impressed me nor has he un-impressed me..........

[Lando_Griffin]

He is a VAST imrovement on Josemi.

Looks better on the ball than Finnan, but not as good defensively. Decent header of the ball.

Dives like Van Horseface, though.

[Archetype]

He looks like he can be a good player, but that dive he did against Portsmouth was pathetic. Just hope he isnt a diver.

[Paul C]

Might be interesting to see him on the right wing and Finnan in defence cos I think Cisse is gonna frustrate the sh1t3 out of us on the right, fingers crossed

[drummerphil]

i have to admit though his dive was hilarious and bound to be on soccer am this saturday.

What suffering with a bit of the old constipation eh Paul. Get yersen down to tooting mate, Murch Massala. That'll sort you out bud.   

[red37]

he's injured now though so it'll be a while until a full assessment can be made.

[crazyhorse]

My first impression can be summed up in one word - Solid.

[JBG]

He looked ok.

[NiftyNeil]

I've watched the highlights of last weeks reserve game against Wolves, and he was fantastic. If he can bring that form to the premiership then the futures bright (the future's orange)

I think hes in the wrong sport.
