Early days in his rebirth...but are we seeing a player there now?

He'll never be the striker Bruce played him as (and we'll have to bear that in mind when he has to go up front to cover Wilson's inevitable forthcoming absences through either suspension or injury) but played further back and wider he definitely looks like he can offer something. He dosn't half put a shift in, too, and that goes a long way in my book. There are still some things he's not very good at and he can veer between sublime and ridiculous in the same move but he's like a different player from the one we saw under Bruce.

He's the new Perchinio but with the added bonus that he's already Brazilian.

Huge credit to Howe and his team and a massive indictment of Bruce (and his staff) and his methods/ability as a coach, etc.
