It says a lot about the state of European football that he's another one I haven't heard of and I don't remember seeing him in the world cup. I take it this means there will be no striker coming in then?

He is your old fashioned box to box mid!

A bit more defensive than offensive. Very well rounded player, doesnt really have a main weakness.

Will sit alongside Gerrard beautifully

i surely hope so, you make him sound very good!  :D
