I remember a performance, West Ham i think, at the end of our relegation season when he was pinging first time passes all over. Maybe I've made itbetter in my memory but he looked quality that day.
We sat high up the pitch that day and he had options ahead of him. Put him in a team that can hang onto the ball and he'll be creative. Put him in a team like this, you'll get the occasional nice pass. And a lot of dawdling looking for an option.
