Best new player from opening days matches

[Nic83]

Yep, even though it's laced with a heavy dose of Irish bias, Paul McShane was outstanding on his debut for the Mackems.

Can't say anything good about Oirish players on these engerlish run forums without being a "biast *******"!

I suppose it's to be expected.

McShane was excellent though, but it remains to be seen how long he can keep it going.

Petrov and Bojinov of Man City will be big hits IMO.

Malouda

big time impressive in both this w/e game and the charity shield

I would think he'd get better and better. Roy Keane was with him for a few years at UTD and he obviously saw that there was big things to come from him in the future. He doesn't look like a player that will go backwards. Future capitano of Ireland probably.

Babel and Torres

Didn't see any of the games....but Collymore was dogging on about Petrov's game....said he was player of the day.

I knew Collymore was in to to dogging, he's now got Petrov in to it as well has he!

McShane was impressive.

In the MotD highlight Elano looked good, and from what I saw of Sunday's match Malouda too, though I was already pretty impressed by him from the Community Shield.

Pizarro looked decent as well.
