lets look at the positives...
- he is a natural winger / wide player
- he will give us the width and guile down the left that we badly need
- he's obviously not rubbish as he's been skirting around the national side
- he has some prem experience which, by all accounts, saw him improving with every game
- he'll have no problem adapting to the language and culture (unlike half southerner, half brummie gareth barry...)
- he's not massively expensive
- signing him will p!ss off the bitter
- benitez will finally stop putting babel or benayoun on the left when they can be much more effective elsewhere
- the sun is shining through my living room window and i'm off to the beach
