From what I saw against Liverpool it will just be adequate cover since Kozak is out, looked very run of the mill and didn't seem to offer much other than being a unit to lump the ball up to. No fee, minimal wages, can't really lose out but it was a lacklustre signing after the Arsenal defeat. Kiyotake, Defour & co being mentioned on Jan 1st and then you get a 32 year old who's scored 2 goals for Wigan all season. He's here and I'll support him but I'm not expecting anything from him.

Welcome btw. Who do you support?

I'm a Chelsea fan, but I wouldn't have minded Defour before we bought Matic in!!

Yeah, I was thinking about it and Holt's got to be older than your other strikers put together! Gabbi must be the most experienced by some way and I wouldn't call him a seasoned pro. I think he'll just provide a bit of a calming influence and give you that bit of bite that comes from having worked your way up from the bottom!!

And don't mention Mata, I have a lot of contradictory feelings on the subject, haha!
