AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I really like him, he's good to watch. Very classy on the ball, maybe just lacks the physical explosiveness but he might develop that more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I don't think he'll develop that much more physically Ian, he's a big lad already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I don't think he'll develop that much more physically Ian, he's a big lad already. I mean in terms of acceleration and athleticism, not necessarily size. You might be right though, he might just not be naturally quick. Still think he has enough to make it in the Premier League.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I love the fact he gets on so well with the likes of Sammy and Abeid. Having a good crop of promising youngsters that like each other and work well together is cum inducing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 So much better in a three-man-midfield, than in a plain 4-4-2. He's going to be a great player... for someone else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 He should train up his crossing. With such a powerful left leg, his crossing's quality is quite bad to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. However, if he can develop as a central midfielder it won't matter as much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Looked assured and wanted the ball, unlike a few of our so called senior players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 He needs to keep things simple. He looks a tidy enough player that he doesn't need to resort to too many tricks on the ball, which cost possession a couple of times last night. Easily the best game I've seen for us- light years ahead of his baptism of fire at Peterborough two years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, I think we should be encouraging flair when we have a player who has the ability to produce it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily the best game I've seen for us- light years ahead of his baptism of fire at Peterborough two years ago. I was going to say the same thing,lost possesion in extra time twice i think when he should have calmed down a bit but definatly bench material in future and starting games if need be .

Flip Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 What I like about him is the fact that you can se he's a good footballer with great potential. He does the right thing most of the time, what he lacks is experience and that will only come with time. He picks out some great passes with his vision and I think with more mobile players he would thrive. Give him time now that Ben Arfa is away, no point in putting ihm on the bench, let him start we got absolutely nothing to lose since we have underperforming player right now.

Skeletor Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 First time I've ever seen him put in a performance. Has to be ahead of Lovenkrands purely on that basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Looked good pre-season and looks like he's continued that. Just always seems to want the ball which is a big plus, hope he gets more chances as the season goes on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 What i love about him is that i don't have to worry when the ball is at his feet, i know he'll do the right thing, i'm really excited about him and hope we start using him a bit more.

Tooj Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 With Barton going, there's really no excuse for him not being on the bench anymore. Until he gets injured again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
