Was not following stuff today , so just saw this. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I'm so happy - it is now for me, finally, a proper start, preparation, and transfer activity. With this I seriously don't give a shit that A lex left (though, no, they're not at all the same).
I hope he's played in the holding role for the most part, and when we need to strengthen the defensive part I'm sure him and Art playing behind Caz could be brilliant. I'm impressed with his will to get in the tackle, his sliding interceptions are calculated, accurate, brave and far from lazy. If deployed thus, we might just find he's doing a better job than Song even in the defensive aspect. About other aspects no need to even discuss.
I think it'll be wise (unless we have someone in an advanced stage of negotiations) to just have Coq as Sagna's understudy. I know it's not a popular view, but with this signing I see even less reason why to insist with him in midfield, while we're seriously suffering at RB. And that leaves just one more thing I want - another serious signing in attack. Our mid has just turned from the weakest ling to the strongest - one of the best in the league (provided the boy get's back to the game, as our No. 10).
I'm not sure if I used the word "brilliant" yet. Brilliant.
