Slightly hypocritical of you saying that, after you were saying that he was going to go and sign someone like Chris Baird or Dickson Etuhu without seeing them play for Liverpool.
They could have had the season of their lives, and won you the Europa League.
Fair enough you haven't seen him play a game yet, but considering the rumours that were floating around about Etuhu for £5-6M, getting a highly rated European experienced midfielder for £11M surely means that on paper at least, he is a good signing. Especially considering you paid £15-20M for Aquilani and loaned him out a season later..
