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?
Righto
Are you forgetting who we were playing last night? He'd be dominated at centre midfield in the Prem.
Can see him operating well off of the striker, but he is not made to play as a holding midfielder...
Hasn't he played like 3 seasons as a midfielder in a 4-3-3. He'll cope.
