    It was important that we made signings that would improve the team, i think he falls into that category.

    If you've ever seen Patrick Bamford interviewed they come across very similar. Both posh English boys who actually seem kind of lovely :giggle1:

    The option of playing him or Rogic is good. He's not quite up to speed, fitness wise, yet and forcing him to play 2 games a week while trying to get there could result in another injury. Rotating him and Rogic could see the best of both and they would both still be playing every week. It also keeps Rogic on his toes, he's never really had any direct competition for his place before. Yes others could play there, but not in the same, or at least a similar, way. Looking forward to seeing what O'Riley is capable of as there is clearly a lot more to come from him.

    It's nice to have options for a change.

    That one-two with himself to take Barasic, or whoever it was, completely out of the game and pass it down the wing.

    Absolutely superb.

    Some player, enjoys a tackle and is pure silk on the ball. Started great and you can only think theres much more to come as he'll only get fitter and quicker training and playing the way we do.

    Definitely posh as *, but it's a good balance having a few folk like that in the squad I think. Mind big gorgeous Stu?

    First time I heard Armstrong talking in an Interview after he signed for us I thought "I didnt know he was English" his accent was that bad.

    The similarities with Rogic are undeniable but he has so much more to his game with the pressing and defensive action.

    For me, he has to be a starter based on his form so far.

    You know who he reminds me of? One of my favourite ever players, Juan Roman Riquelme. Only with an engine.

    By the way I rate him.

    He’s a class act.

    Probably the exact opposite type of player of Joe Ledley right enough :56:

    Weird comparison.
