You really could say that about a few members of our team couldn't you. Stockdale, Bruno, Kayal, Stephens, Rosenior, Knockaert (recently at least), shit, even Skalak's introduction has provided the goals to push for the top 2. What a team.
I agree with pretty much everything you said, but he IS a very skillful player. His first touch is excellent, he can turn players inside out in the midfield and his passing and decision making is top class. I bloody love the man.
