    I've loved watching him play & can't understand the criticism he receives. All this 'loads of performances where he contributes nothing' is utter tripe as far as I'm concerned. If nothing else he's only played about a dozen games, so unless the O.E.D. has a new definition of 'loads' then it's utter garbage.
    When team mates move into space, he has the vision to find them with astute passes and does so. When they don't, he can't. For the past few months, there's been very few occasions when someone's been prepared to look for and find space, due to self confidence, both individually & as a team, being totally shot. If he's a luxury player contributing nothing, why do the opposition put two or three players on him? Why can't his team mates find the space when this happens.
    Thankfully, he's a wonderful dribbler and, on occasions, is unplayable. This has led to him scoring two brilliant goals, which have contributed to two of only three wins we've obtained this season. We don't have another player as skilful or creative on our books and haven't had since Craig Hignett. For those espousing we can't have room for such players, it's simply a sad indictment of the modern game. How often do you see a skilful, creative player that's from the British Isles these days?

    I honestly think he'll be off elsewhere this month, so Django et al can settle back and enjoy the mediocrity that's left. Quite how the rest of us get through the remainder of our last season in this division is an issue, but at least it will help prepare us for life in the alehouse league.

    If he had the work rate of obrien and the pace of Wiseman he'd be playing for Barcelona
    It's a pleasure to be able to watch him play for our team
