It would in my view be a mistake to sell him right now. He needs a run of games which he has never had and will probably only ever get the opportunity to do when Roy goes.

If we are to have better link up play the coming season we cannot go on playing 3 defensive minded midfielders but I suppose if we get the signings that are being discussed then that issue may be resolved.

What I would agree with is that we are not getting value for money out of him currently and on that basis he may well be shipped out. I would however leave that decision until the January window so we see how the squad is.

Would happily drive Tekkers and Sako to the airport ..

His stats in the Bundesliga in the two years before he joined us were 51 appearances, 1 goal, 1 assist.

We've bought more of the same.

I'm clutching at straws a bit here I know but it's not unusual for foreign players to take a season to adjust to the Premier League. Maybe this could be his breakthrough year.

Completely agree... Hope my kids dont see my reply .... as they think he is our Saviorur

'Same old, same old' was always the worry. And probably the reality too.
