Not that I'm an expert but from the clips he looks like the complete forward type.. Strong and powerful, good control, decent pace and that typical left-footed flair dribble/shooting/passing technique. He'd be a good foil for our other forwards imo.
I think Ben Arfa is a bit too high profile for most reserve fixtures.. I wouldn't want him to feature against some cloggers on a dirt field somewhere in Lancashire..
Marveaux is muslim.. apparently. I also have high hopes about him. He was very impressive against Scunthorpe and we desperately need a creative midfielder..
I wonder why he didn't start yesterday.. Does he still lack fitness? Or is Pardew reluctant to play Marv/Jonas on the right? Or is Obertan in front of him in the pecking order?
