I'm praying for him to come good. And not just in a putting up good analytics, subtly influencing the game, putting in the odd assist way.
I had a fairly animated row with a Gooner that I've had the misfortune of being best mates with for 20+ years. He, like a lot of rival fans is equally desperate to write him off. All the usual cliched regurgitated opinion bullshit - his game relied on pace, his attitude at Madrid was bad, he hasn't played for two years, he's crocked, why would he go to spurs if he wasn't finished.
I got carried away and expected 40 yard volleys in his first few minutes. I have seen glimpses of a player that has that elite level ability on the ball. That jinked run into the box that didnt quite come off against the spammers. But i've also seen a player that seems scared to run full pelt for fear of leaving his legs behind him.
So, patience my friends, patience. For when the climax comes i will send this picture to my mate every half hour for the rest of the season.
