Yeah your right, you can't really get a decent view of a player when you've only played 20mins but he didn't do anything to piss me off, like score an own goal or start a fight with one of our players lol) so thats a good thing!
It's hard to say as you mentioned but from what i seen of him against Sheffield United the lad looked a great midfielder ,its early days but give him a few games to bond with his teammates and he will be a superb midfielder. He ran his socks off against United and his work rate is amazing. I'll just wait for him ,clingan and ozzy to start working as a force and wow what a midfield we may have on our hands.
His work rate against Boro was great. He didnt give up and hustled and was always on the heels of players and if he didnt win the people he put them off so they made a mistake.
I would have liked to think we could sign him for good but he has just signed a contract with Chelsea
