Must admit I couldn't quite see what the fuss was in his first games and even soon after he came back from injury. But in recent games, his composure and reliability in keeping possession and winning it has been magnificent. He seems to be the only player we have who can look after the ball properly, consistently

I thought he got overran a couple of times early season, Palace sticks in my mind. But our midfield was getting overwhelmed every week and he was new to the league. He is up to speed now and he will just keep getting better. Love him already.

The best compliment to pay him as you do with the very best in football other sports is that he appears to have more time than those around him. And it’s all down to first touch, movement with or without the ball, body positioning and peripheral vision to know what is around him. Some of those things can be taught, but most of it is pure instinct and intuition. He’s a lovely footballer to watch and admire.

He'll be off like a shot at the first opportunity I think, if he can run his contract down at his boyhood club and leave on a free. So I'm not getting attached to him. Hope we can progress with him over the next year or two so we keep him for a while and get a good profit.

Please don't sell him off so quickly, we can't be having this conversation everytime a player puts together a string of decent performances.

We need to tie him down on life-time, billion dollar contract. Or we take his family as hostage. I'm OK either way.

No doubt the 'big' clubs will soon be circling.......that was the best piece of business Gerrard did during his short tenure at Villa Park.....and on a free transfer is astounding!

I wouldn’t put too much faith in gerrard’s ‘best piece of business’. Being clueless he thought he was signing Chris!

When carrying the ball on the run for Bailey's goal, he looked up, carried it further and without breaking stride played the perfect pass through for Bailey's brilliant strike.  That, to me is football at its best.

Top class player. He’s the benchmark of what our recruitment needs to target.

It was his first touch when he got the (excellent) pass from Young. Took it on the outside of his boot at pace and didn't break stride. Then in setting the goal up, the easy pass would have been to Digne on his left, but he pulled off the much more difficult pass to Bailey. I've watched the goal back about ten times!

When he went marauding up the pitch my Grenache rouge-sozzled eyes thought it was Watkins. I was amazed at his composure on the ball and stunned to see his head turning left and right like a Terminator scanning its environment with speed and precision. Then he passed it through a labyrinth of legs to Bailey and I realised it was Kamara.
