I have to say, he looks way older than 23. Hope we haven't got another Obafemi Martins on our hands.

 

With him playing in the U21 euros in the summer, I thought he was only around that age, 20-21.

What a great interview man. Both German guys have come across fantastically well.

 

Seems really excited and up for it and has a good feeling about the fit already, as do his family.

 

Crazy we ended up with this guy so late on because we missed out on so many others, hope it pays off big time and he does very well.

Its a common misnomer because the true age limit for U21s is actually 23.

Seems intelligent, family orientated and feet firmly on the ground. Great answer to his price tag: ‘I didn’t negotiate the price, I just want to play football’.

The Geordie welcome seems to have won him and his family over very quickly and a great welcome video from Bill the biker.

I’m as of today giving-up using German stereotypes, but suspect that the record keeping was a bit more effective in Bremen 2002 than Lagos circa 1984 (… or 1977).

I already really like him. Feels like a genuinely good lad with a warm heart and his head on his shoulders. Can imagine that he will be great to have and be around. Fingers crossed he gets off to a good start.  Sound lad tbh.

Seems a very down to earth and grounded bloke. I guess an uncertain start in the pro game would do that to you. Or at least it should! 
 

The bit where he said something about just wanting everyone around him to be happy and then he is happy.
