come on, heimdall. i don't think you are as full of sh!t as half the people on here but surely if you've been paying any kind of attention when he's been on the pitch you've seen his quality.
true, we haven't seen him take a game by the scruff of its neck, we haven't seen him waltz through a defense before chipping the keeper, we haven't seen him do too many zidane turns. but only the most ignorant of football watchers would have missed the obvious eye for a pass, touch and vision that he has. the question isn't whether he has quality or not, its whether he'll be able to adapt those qualities to the premiership.
anyway, to tonights game - a win for the 'pool kiddas!
