    To be honest Warmy, I haven't noticed anyone on here moaning about this signing yet.

    I think it is a brilliant signing.Just watched his interview and he obviously likes to do his talking on the pitch which appeals to me.He was very underated at Newcastle-I distinctly remember some of his long passes and through balls splitting our defence and running our lot ragged back in the Dyche era.
    We despersately need a bit of steel with quality in the midfield.UTC!

    Put him and Hannibal in the midfield against Dirty Weeds and give the referee a night to remember.

    In his interview he said one of the criticisms against him was that he was lazy, of course he said he wasn't, but I never thought he was lazy, nor do I remember anyone ever claiming he was. I must have missed something.

    My dad would have called him languid.

    Not really, he got holed up in India until 1947 after fighting the Japs in Burma and spent a lot of his time in a library in Calcutta. He was not fond of Mountbatten I can tell you!
