    Is *. ( not really )

    Apart from his crossing, what can we actually criticise him about? Very underrated in my eyes, does a lot of the dirty work and doesn't get enough credit.

    This thread has already been made a week or so ago. He is a good player, not a * though, henrik larsson was a *.

    he's steady but he has had times when he's struggled quite badly. he's in good form now and long may it continue but he's still got to prove himself IMO. if we had a decent LB i'd say wilson would be our first choice RB

    Bit of a stereotype but he's a typical German in a way. I think the problem is some were expecting more flair from him coming from La Liga and being a German international.

    Steady, reliable and getting better with each passing game just now.

    That's it exactly.

    Like I say in my original post, only thing I can think of in a negative way is his crossing. I don't mind if his crossing is poor, as long as he's solid defensively which he is.

    His crossing isn't always poor either, he can have a decent cross on his day. Doesn't make many mistakes defensively either.

    The guy really hasn't put a foot wrong imo had a slow start at first but now he looks more settled and has been on great form as of late in both attacking and defending.

    definetly, it will usually always take a player (especailly foreign) like six months to settle in. they shudnt be judged rite away

    his pace for a start .. he does not have the pace to keep up with players in the spl :))
    he has very poor positionin as well gets cot out in defense to much .. he is lucky he is not playing against big teams week in week out because it would cost us big time .
    his main strength is attacking

    He's a decent player but not hard enough for a defender IMO.

    He's hardly a *.

    Most improved player over the last couple of months imo. I didn't like the look of him after a few weeks, but hopefully he'll contunue to improve.

    He's becoming decent. He showed great feet last weekend when he nearly scored on that wee jinky run into the box.

    Maybe you should highlight my original post...

    I was being sarcastic, and you'll realise that if you highlight the post with your mouse.

    It's hard to tell whether you're being sarcastic or making no sense.
