Quality signing, going to increase fears that Powell may leave?.

Quality signing, going to increase fears that Powell may leave?. At 32 can’t see him been a Powell replacement, more like cover

Quality signing, going to increase fears that Powell may leave?. Doubt it. Think he'll hopefully be a supersub as he was for Norwich and start when we want to give Powell a break?

Is he a number 10 then?

Let’s hope he’s not another Duffy??

On the face of it a good signing. But not the midfield areas that need major surgery i.e central midfield/DM. Must be some other irons in the fire waiting for gravity to kick n.

Is an option there but best role seems to be as a deep lying playmaker.

I’d have thought we’d try and find a way to play them both- we are a side that desperately needs some creativity.

I can't see why would mean Powell leaving. Powell can play a number of roles.

nice to see some really positive comments about his technical skills though a little worrying physically he may be on the wain. That said we wouldn’t get him if he was at his peak. Looks like he’s got a great attitude. Looks a good signing.

Maybe a Gleghornesque type of role for him. Left center mid?

Sounds exactly like Duffy.

It's the 'with legs around him' bit that worries me slightly. That was the issue with Mikel as well. We don't currently have any legs in midfield. Hopefully we bring some in asap.

Do you see him as the one who sits in the JOM-esque role in front of the defence, Rob? He doesn't seem to have done that for a while

I'll give it 3 pages before it's concluded as a disastrous signing.

Very shrewd signing not the JOM replacement more of the deep lying midfielder role for me and takes a cracker of a free kick an all.

He doesn't seem to have done that for a while I don't, Grapey, but I also don't see where he fits into the XI beyond competition for Powell. Sounds like he has bags of technical quality and a set piece prowess, which is good, but what the midfield is crying out for is 1) discipline and 2) energy. He sounds like a deep lying midfielder ie a Woods upgrade, not especially physical - that kind of midfielder basically requires two people to do their running for them, like Adam did with Whelan/Nzonzi. Do you get him and Powell into the same side without shoehorning Powell out wide? Sounds like a good squad option though.

Presumably MON has got a plan as he must know what he's getting.

Quality on the ball which is in short supply in our squad. Not sure how you blend him into our midfield but hopefully what we have to blend him with will change quite soon. Joe Allen had an outstanding Euro's I think we'll struggle to hold onto him lol.
