He's a ball-holding midfielder. Breaks the play up and protects the back-line. He gets a nose-bleed if he goes across the half-way line. Does an effective job. He'll allow the likes of Delph and Westwood etc to go forward. I think he'll be a more than useful addition to our squad.
Westwood might be tidy on the ball, but there are krill floating around in the Pacific Ocean with sharper defensive instincts.
We had Ashley 'Perfect 10' Young.
It's quite amazing to think we have had two Spanish full backs over the last decade and probably the only two Spanish players who were terrible in possession.
