Desperately needs some positional discipline/nous but that can be coached. He is great fun to watch.
You just need to look back to the games against City and Spurs seazon before last to see his potential when fit. Or the Bosnian games when he totally negated Messi and Bale.

We just have to give the lad an opportunity to prove sustainable fitness, and if he does, he'll make a good contribution to the team this season. Our depth in CM is as good as any tram in the prem. I can see us controlling a lot of games this season.
 
he's injured again, isn't he?

No, but I can see why some players never really recover from injury inside their head, cos everytime he passed or ran with the ball the other day I was on edge hoping and praying he didnt get injured, after suffering the injuries he has I can only imagine what its like for him, wondering if he sprints to fast will something pop.

Made me think anyway.

Look no further than Darron Gibson. He was injured so often that he became depressed and drank himself into oblivion every chance he got. Let's hope ya boi doesn't fall into the same vices.

If you keep getting injured it does become a mental barrier as much as a physical.

I had 2 horrendous knee injuries in my teens. I then picked up another at 23 and I packed in playing as it was impacting my life. Horrible when the mind is willing but your body says no. It was difficult to accept that I could no longer enjoy playing a game I love.

I was just playing for fun so it must be unbelievably soul destroying for those young athletes who have dedicated themselves to a sport.
 
Besic will be the next Barry...if he can stay healthy.
He certainly has the discipline to play the Barry role (evidenced by the man marking jobs he has done for Bosnia), plus he has the passing range and out matches Barry for pace. However I'm not sure whether he has the football intelligence that Barry has which is what singles players like him and Schneids out. If Schneids were not available for whatever reason, I certainly wouldn't be against Mo being played in that role in the premier ahead of Barry. I'd keep Barry back for the Europa games where I think he'll excel. Certainly until the latter stages should we get there.
 
NEA I prefer him next to Keane instead of either jags or Williams
Wouldn't argue with that. It's not every week we come up against the likes of Palace and Stoke so his height wouldn't be an issue from open play, and his game would suit us more when playing the likes of City, Liverpool and Arsenal minus Giroud.

I imagine you worry about going pop.
 
Have to see more of this partnership between him and Keane, suddenly we looked 100x more secure and solid when they both came on against Gor Mahia. Never really ran into much sticky situations either when bringing it out from the back.
