Gai looked just as good.
Razak loves his step overs

of course we have a chance...it wasn't that long ago this kid was at Palace and they couldn't even see the potential in him to pay for his paperwork to get him signed to play. The amounts touted on here for him are riddiculous.
We need to make the kid feel as if he's loved in Brighton (like we did with Lua Lua)...then the pull will be too strong to resist.
To City ... are you confident you will clinch the title over ManUre?
And you'lll spend big in the Summer again, so Razak will have to wait his chance to be a regular for a couple of seasons yet.
Believe that if it makes you feel better.
Also the bit about Palace is just daft. He was 15 then and listen to what Neil Warnock said:
In his column for the Independent, Warnock revealed: "We had a young lad there (at Crystal Palace) who had come over from Ghana [sic] to play in a junior tournament and clearly wanted to stay in Britain. He told us he was 15 years old, though he was very reluctant to tell us anything about who he was or where he had come from. He had no passport. What he did have was bags of ability. In fact, I've never seen such a talented 15-year-old.
"Palace helped him in a way that I've never seen any club support a young player. They spent a year coaching him and giving him all the support he needed. They made sure he was living in a safe environment and had money in his pocket. When Palace played Manchester City I went out of my way to introduce him to Emmanuel Adebayor.
"However, without a passport he had problems staying here. The club worked tirelessly to help him. I went to four meetings with the immigration people in Croydon to speak on his behalf.
"Then one day, without even telling us, he vanished. We couldn't get hold of him at his home and never saw or heard from him again. His name was Abdul Razak.
"I read the other day about an 18-year-old African player who made his debut for Manchester City earlier this month.
"You can imagine how the steam came out of my ears when I read this, after all the time and help we had given him."
Didn't go to Hell midweek, but yesterday he had a pretty free, proper central midfield role, our other midfielders Navarro and Reyes were more defensive and Barnes plays just behind and around our striker.
Also, he needs his own song ASAP. Get to work lyricists of the North Stand.

Reminded me of when I first saw Sidwell on loan, only this guy was better. He can't play that well every game, but he clearly is a superstar of the very near future. He must be playing prem football next season. The only negative thing is that he was so good it did show how much we need to improve to be a premiership side.
