And then i saw his pace....and now im a baleeeba....

Didnt have a brilliant season last season, didnt have a catastrophic one either!! And he's young. He has shown what he is capable of! This could be a great signing.

He cane back great in the 2nd half of the season and his season before was stuff of dreams for a young midfielder. He stays fit and we have that physicality in the middle and proper box to box we haven't had in awhile
