Just ordered four shirts with his name on the back - home, away, alternate and goalkeeper.

Was just taking issue with the fact @Del doesn't think he can pass or tackle. Quite clearly, he can. I mean, we're talking about a lad who played 22 league games in Man Utd's last title winning team.

Can't pass a football? LOL, sheer hyperbole from Del, who probably struggles to pass wind without it escaping on to the GOT forum.

The main thing going in his favour is how hard he works for the team. He doesn't hide from the ball. Historically Evertonians have really taken to players with these traits so I can see him winning the doubters round.

Agreed. What I've seen of him he injects a bit of urgency going forward by playing quick one twos, if anything people will be booing the others for not showing the same urgency as him after a few games.

I've managed to convince myself he's much more than a 'not bad' signing.

He might not get tons of goals or assists but his passing in the build up to goals is vital, we often give it away cheaply, he won't. Can see him giving the likes of Barkley, Mirallas and del *prays* plenty of chances to get assists though.
 
Probably one of the worst CMs in the country

Truly awful sign of intent from us as a club

Villa didn't even fight to keep him

People are giving their opinions mate , it's a forum for that. Nobody wants him to be crap we all want him to be boss. it would be boring as fck if everyone just typed 'I'll wait and see how he does' . I couldn't really care less if I make a fool of myself and Judging by other posts most others don't either. We're allowed To be tools if we want.

He can take over Pienaar's role of "assisting the assister"
 
From reading the thoughts of some Villa fans on various blogs etc it seems as though he's very much a confidence player. We really need to get off to a flyer next season and have the players on a high from the get go. This season has shpwn how obvious it is when the payers are struggling with confiidence (Barkley being the prime example). Start well and the fans and club as a whole can really push on

Somebody has to do that, and in all honesty, I think we can all agree that we don't want the goalie taking up that role.....

I know - I wasn't being facetious. Teams need players who can knit the play together. Pienaar and Osman being out for so long this season showed that clearly. Some people are unable to see beyond how many goals, final assists or dribbles a player completes, even if that's not the players main role in the team

Soz lid. I thought you were being sarcastic.

That good reply has put me in my place :P
 
Can't judge him under new manager syndrome Sherwood as their whole team played like Barca. Would be a decent squad player signing but we all know he'll be in the starting 11 on the left leaving us with 1 winger again. Martinez plays his favourites and has been after him for a long time.
