Schalke are about as good as we are right now. If they're happy to release him, he probably isn't good enough for us.
The natural heir to Gheorghe Hagi, comfortable on both flanks, can play up front, fast, skillful, intelligent on the ball, a demon of a left foot and a set piece expert, another blockbuster signing!
Has 22 goals in 63 games for Romania, not too bad I guess.
This clip tells you exactly what he's all about:
I smell a rat
I love the way that they included one where he was clean through and shot straight at the keeper in that clip
Also lots of diving and rolling around.
