So pretty, brother. I hadn't seen much of him before we were linked to him... at which point I scoured the Utube, and found this clip among others. He's a gem, no doubt about it.
I love that he's still such a responsible player, despite those marauding runs. Great balance. Great in the tackle, strong on the ball -- particularly for somebody with that level of technique. You can see that he's really getting comfortable in our setup, the interplay/understanding with his new teammates is getting more and more fluid each week. His service has been great the past few matches, too.
Has totally had that left flank on lock down the past couple weeks. Lock. Down. He will be a consistently dominant player, imo, and it's so exciting to get him signed long term at this age -- given the need for new quality after the exodus, and the revolving door of rubbish that we've had at LB since the scandal. (minus the legendary Patrice, of course).

he's worth what was paid, definitely. Also he doesn't seem to be the short-tempered-bad-decision-maker-with-a-peanut-for-a-brain kind of Brazilian like Melo. Doesn't mean he isn't tough.
Did you see how he did a 270° turn straight from pes/fifa near our penaltybox, into a foul or he'd been past 3 lazio players and clear down the flank ? And he's can keep his spring speed up for quite a distance,like licht but faster, and he can do it all the time.
That skill on the ball to get past players and cross, so awesome
