Luis Alberto [sold]

[wiw]

I like the look of this kid. Head always up, always looking to pass forwards creatively, obviously plays in the Barca mould, good technique.

Smacks of a 'buying the Groningen Suarez' rather than 'Suarez at Ajax' kinda signing.

Did he play mainly in the midfield three yesterday, or further forward?

[Daffy Duck]

Midfield, moved somewhat to the left side. I hope to see more from him in our next match already.

You decided not to include his wank shot/cross right at the start of 2nd half? Looked good otherwise.

I couldn't as the 2nd half footage started at 46:05 or something not that I would've included anyway

Cheers mos, top work again

[Mostar]

Thanks V

Looks a major upgrade on Shelvey for similar money.

Come on man Shelvey had some very good games for us, scored a few nice goals as well... This guy played two pre-season halftimes and didn't even really show anything particularly special. I might be slightly bitter about Shelvey leaving, but I think that comparison was a bit unfair.

I agree. I think Alberto will prove the better player in the long run but to say that already is more than a tad premature.
