He helped Rennes get Champions League last year, mind.
Saying 'he's flavour of the month' is a bit daft. He's a good player and Leeds got him for a good price. He's created more chances than James, for example, in the league, and has as many goals and more assists.
Not saying he's better than James but he's a very talented player. He's probably playing in a side right now that suits him, but he's completely horrified most defences he's played against so far.
But, we'll never be in for him, as they'd want about £60m.
