All things considered that was a very good performance. His crosses and corners look dangerous. Faded 2nd half but you have to expect that.

I like him already. Think him and Gibson could add a lot of steel to our midfield played together. He can pick a pass too.

Looks a good player, to say it was his first start i thought he played well, got a good pass and cross on him and he can also put in a tackle.

 

[Sideliner]

typical German player - i'd take 45 min from him before 90min of Neville any day in midfield - i predict he is going to be the signing of the season if not injured again - intelligent and crafty player with a kick like a mule

 

[LTblue]

Very Arteta-like.

Anyone else noticed how high he hits the ball sometimes? Unbelievable, ends up with snow on it!

 

[Bungle]

Yep was impressed with him for his first start and deserves to keep his place, with a few more games under his belt and fully fit I think he's a quality signing.

I'd of never took him off to be honest, we were crying out for a goal and he was getting in t o good positions and looking very dangerous.

I was really impressed with him considering it was his 1st start.

 

[McQueen]

Looked good for a first start, can pick a pass

 

[malfosse]

Hopefully he will stay fit, carry on playing well, and earn himself a longer contract, (only slightly longer though, none of that 4 year crap)

Nice one Chris.

I like the look of him even after one game. If he can keep his fitness up and earn a longer contract then we've basically just signed a £5m player for nothing. Even if he just turns out to be a squad player he's a damn sight better than the back up we have there now.

He can pass, he can tackle and he can shoot. He's similar to Gibson in some ways but in my opinion Gibson is probably the more defensive of the two, they could forge a good partnership if given the chance.

 

[Brennan]

Honestly wonder sometimes how so many clubs spend tens of millions on absolute gash and we can get players like him for nothing.

 

[Summerskin]

Why were people saying he was no different to Neville?

I think i'll stick to my original "people are stupid" theory, seems to check out...

 

[Baines' left foot]

Honestly wonder sometimes how so many clubs spend tens of millions on absolute gash and we can get players like him for nothing.

Hitzelsperger + Gibson = £500k - £1m and about £70k or whatever for wages.

Superb business. Absolute bargains.
