I remember being at Ipswich not long after we signed him and you could tell then that we'd signed a cracking player. £2.5m was an absolute steal.
He didn't have the game he did on Wednesday, but that little shuffle, right-left, no-fuss blind throughball to Bailey for the goal is just total class.
That pass straight out of play, after doing so much good dirty work, was such pure Donkery I burst out laughing. And I don't mean in a cruel way! There's an important place for a guy you can bring on in midfield to just fuck shit up. I just thought it was funny.

I was surprised at how many times Arsenal did something similar to be honest, must have been at least 3 or 4.

You're 1-0 up in a cage fight of a match against one of the real title-contenders, and you bring on a somewhat embattled midfielder who's made several mistakes in the last year and hasn't had many minutes recently - and it works a charm. The guy's actually a madman.
Anyone know what his actual injury is? Emery confirmed he is not in the squad tomorrow. He was playing really well when he came off against Arsenal.
