I've had him for 2 seasons in a southampton save and he performed very nicely. I've used him as a CM on attack ( not bad), a wide midfielder ( surprisingly good there, but he needs to be retrained I think), and playmaker ( very good).
He gets injured a lot though.
For a cheap, reliable and versalite midfielder he's very good. He also has a brother I think, a CD altough much younger, same club if I remember correctly.
