Arrogant prick, but he has a genuine touch of class that is rare for the US and would be welcome in our side right now. VERY hard worker, and really seems to "rise to the occasion". He may mail in an easy game, but when it is a big game, he will leave it all on the field. Great pace, can pick out a nice pass, and has a real chip on his shoulder about not "proving" himself in europe yet.
I love the idea of this signing. On the field, I'd equate him to a higher quality Osman. Great versatility, more speed, knack for goals (and will score some top quality ones). Only thing Os has over him is that Os bleeds blue and has Moyes' trust. LD can earn the trust, I doubt he'll bleed blue for a 1/2 season loan though. I hope it's a "loan to buy" deal like Moyes frequently sets... I'd like to see LD in blue for years to come.
