I definitely have my reservations about this singing. I think he's a good player though, his obvious standout qualities are his set piece taking, his cross field passing, and eye for a pass in general. Hopefully working with a better quality of coaches and an improved fitness regime will see him improve in the areas he's currently lacking.
He should be lining up alongside Aquilani/Meireles and Spearing in the middle of the park in the coming games in Asia, which looks like a fairly balanced midfield, looking forward to seeing how he gets on.
