He looks ok from goal clip, but not much more. Am i being glass half empty?
I think you need to bear in mind that he turned 22 a couple of weeks ago, so he's had 1 season with Feyenoord, aged 21, and a season with SC Cambuur, aged 20, scoring 1 in 3 for both clubs. His best days are ahead of him, and he looks alright now.

Being able to play on the wing or as a striker is great for us, given our current needs. He's also got a bit pace, which we're generally lacking.

I don't know how good he'd be at getting back to help a full back, if he's on the wing, but I imagine he can learn. And the fact that he's chosen us rather than some higher profile clubs hopefully means he's happy to work.

Hope you are right. I also watched those highlights and the amount of space he was given for most goals was incredible.

Looks like he's going for 'ELVIS' on his shirt.

Love it.

... and her.

And I would rather be anywhere else but in the way!

I thought it was great too. Perhaps a bit of tweaking, drop a few syllables to keep it simpler, and...bang.

And when you play the world is brighter
You can play on either wing
You didn't cost Brighton a fortune
And you're named after the King

I guess you'll never know, the reason why
We love you like we do.
Cos you're Elvis, you're Elvis Manu.



Then again, we'll just shout Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu every time he does something good, so...

Looking forward to Elvis wearing the stripes! A mate from The Netherlands who supports Feyenoord said "he is a great player who did a lot for Feyenoord. Because of him they played in the Europa league" (as he scored the winning goal in their playoff). He did say he has to learn when to speed up and when to take a rest (unsure exactly what he's talking about but sounds like the Kaz of old) but otherwise he said we have a great player on our hands here who will only improve!

Seen a brief video. Seems more like Zaha in style than any other player. i.e. slightly lazy about defending, selfish etc.

Silly old bat
Kaz is in his last year of his contract. I hope this signing isn't an indication that he doesn't want to sign an extension.
