Uwe's take on Groß is very promising.

Thanks BG. I was only joking as I miss the football but great to have the info.

I use an app called SofaScore for livescores and stats. They rate every player on a combination of other stats. Our new man was the 18th best player in the Bundesliga this season. Level with Ribery. For his club he was the best rated player. For context I've added the championship one too.

I'm delighted he is rated so highly. Exciting signing.

Excellent article via Twitter, this selection stood out to me:

About those longballs. After reviewing InStat footage of precisely just this pass type, I can report that Groß is a sensationally skilled long ball man. Utterly beautiful. His Long balls, at least the ones he launches during the run of play from somewhere deep in the heart of the midfield, have the lovely aesthetic curve of a proportional parabola, somehow gently terminating on the foot of his teammate. Put another way, more than any other Bundesliga midfielder I’ve seen, Groß’s longballs resemble the “long bomb” throw of an elite NFL quarterback. (Note: I shamelessly went hometown hero in my NFL example on that URL. You’ve been warned.) Something about the heft, arc, and descent of Groß’s long ball. In terms of functionality, the Groß long ball can thus bypass row(s) of defenders and land just perfectly in front of his target man. Much like the vaunted American football pass over the wide receiver’s shoulder that the defender has no chance of intercepting.

Pascal Groß is at the training ground today. It looks like Uwe is helping out with any language difficulties.

Edited to add a wink, as people are taking my comments seriously.

Germans don't have language difficulties. I'd be amazed if Gross isn't fluent in da lingo.

I know. I said that because Uwe is in the picture. Maybe I should use when I post my tongue in cheek comments.

Second line doesn't scan well. Do the recruitment team not consider these things ?

Uwe has just moved in next door to the beagle I look after.

That doesn't scan we'll at all.

We could just sit in silence then audibly tut and groan when he misplaces a pass.
