Absolutely fantastic that we've signed a player like this.

Last time we finished 5th, we bought Vurnon Anita...and that was it. Now we're buying players who prompt articles like ths?? Good times, man.

The more you read about this young man the more you can't help but get excited.

Also, every word of that article had bells ringing in my mind. Every single sentence & statement of character, attitude, ability and frame of mind screams Eddie Howe.

Along side Bruno & the reinvented Joelinton, Willockinho & the dogged Longstaff wor midfield is shaping up to be quite frightening.

What's the average age of this lot? 24,25? They'll peak in a couple of seasons after working together. Brilliant to see the club working to build a legacy of excellence, rather than as you rightly say Zippatronik me old mukka, Hoying in a rando fella no one had any faith in from a B list league.

Anita wasn't the problem/sickness, he was the personification of the symptom. We now have a full bill of health and are going from strength to strength.

It’s not easy to find good players these days who don’t put money as a hugely bigger priority than anything else.

Seems it’s a prerequisite to sign for us.

I have to say - I love his attitude, seeing some videos of him on Youtube.

Love how he gets stuck in.

With him and Big Joe though, we better have some pennies saved for fines
