So we finally manage to bring him in? Only here for a few months spell so I understand. This would have been a very exciting capture about three or four years ago, but just doesn't have the same relish to it now. I'm aware of his capabilities and has been a decent player with some outstanding goals but seems to have disappeared of the radar in recent years. We'll see what he can produce for his three months here and still have to believe he can produce something special or can contribute.

He just needs a run of games and some confidence. If we can nurse him back, this signing could be immense. He's only 30. He had a bad run at a few unstable clubs over the last few years and, as a result, just lost his game a bit. I have a feeling we can resurrect this guy's career. Great defensive midfielder with great distribution and an amazing shot. Let's just get him healthy and confident.

 

Stuttgart supporter friend of mine was excited for us/still believes in him, so I reckon we should have a little faith.

I think he's primarily left footed, but can shoot with either foot apparently. Dead ball specialist from what I can recall, but once again, just feels his best years are behind him and simply not the same caliber of player that I read about or probably saw on occasion just four or five years ago. It still does represent a decent capture though.

If there was ever a "meh" contract announcement this is it. He's had a few bombs that were very close to going in but other than that he hasn't really shown me much. That being said, he doesn't seem to be a liability, either, which is important from a central mid player. The veteran presence doesn't hurt either. Good mid depth for situations like last game against Wigan or as a late sub.

I'd like to keep him around assuming he doesn't mind being a squad player rather than a starting XI regular. Solid centermid with a good shot and veteran experience. I really have no problems with having him onboard. At first, I thought he was a short-term McFadden like signing just to have another warm body, but I think he could hang around awhile like I said, as long as he doesn't expect to start every week.
