It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
So is this the Vieira replacement signing we've been waiting 200 years for?
Für eure Sicherheit
Of course Arteta will probably leave him on the bench for a good few games, no point in getting carried away and throwing caution to the wind is there...
As close as you’re gonna get. They both have their own styles - Paddy kind of glided around the pitch at times whereas Thomas is more about sudden, explosive movements - but in terms of being a complete midfielder who does every job well (and is incredibly consistent with it) then I think we’ve bought someone very similar.
Apparently Athletico are furious at the late move. Excellent stuff.
Yeah, I don't buy this supposed shock at only being given official notice half an hour before the window shut. They've known all summer we wanted him.
