alright since hes here lets look at some positives (put your optimistic hats ppl)
although his passing is obscure to say the least, we've seen many players along the years improve on that and the best example on that is gattuso. Also there is some consensus that we won't need him to give us great passes anyway.
The same would go for his shooting.
The best characteristic of this guy as i see it is his marking.Seen him mark out some good players on his day, and keep them completely out of the game.
Add to that his workrate is very good.
He's pretty tall and decent with a header so we have another target/defender in set pieces.
He is young so he can improve on his technical abilities and i am really hoping he would improve his attitude as well. It is one thing that i really don't like in him. For him to have any degree of succession in this team he will need to improve on that. We do not welcome cry babies or players with bad attitude overall in this club.
