I read some comparisons with Schweinsteiger and Alonso which is encouraging at least, god knows we've needed a proper CM for years.


I hadn't heard of him 6 months ago, so let's hope he settles well and can show us what he has in his locker.

He seems to get booked alot, but from what I've read, he is a 'natural leader' on the pitch and stands up for himself and the team.
