Really glad to see he is both fit and playing well.
I took some flak in the summer when I suggested he was very important (poor mans Makelele I think I said) but I really like this lad and think that - provided he does the simple thing and breaks play up and keeps his passing short and accurate he will be immense this season. His utility-man role will be handy as long as he stays fit too
long way to go but he's made a competent start so it seems - good work soldier

I did think he could do a solid job at right back, but I think Richardson looks a good signing and is doing things Semedo wouldn't - like his run and pass to set up Bailey against Wycombe.
Everyone mentions Bailey, Racon and Shelvey as the midfielders to keep, but I also think it's important we keep Semedo and Sam. Both offer things no one else in the squad really does, at least no at the same level.
He's had two years of experience in England and English football now, played in a few positions, probably done him a lot of good, and now hopefully he'll really step up and become a reliable player for us. He's definitely capable of doing that in this league.
Liked him from the off when he joined us. Never spectacular, but always solid! (though occasionally a bit hotheaded - though I put that down to youth & passion)
He definitely settled the quickest out of Pardews imports.
No coincidence to me that our form rapidly dipped, when Pardew started picking Holland over him in 07/08. (I've probably just asked for a whipping by mentioning Holland in a negative light. ;-) )
Very happy he is back, hungry & solid. A must for us in this division! He is ambitious, so that can only mean he is going to do his very best for us.(I'd hope!)
Top marks to the lad so far! Keep up the good work Jose!
unless he shoots from the halfway line I doubt he will.
a tad harsh in my opinion, I like him - just needs to stay injury and suspension free if possible !.
I don't think he's done much wrong in all his time with us.
Have faith Large, I'm expecting a 45 yard overhead kick.
And what a job he did for us! Jose should be proud of the (deserved) comparison.
Agree 100%. He's been nothing short of superb so far this season. I've always liked him, but this year he's lost a bit of weight and is really getting about the pitch.
Long may it continue.
he's like a fucking machine and works so hard - I think Horse suits him. I love how opponents just bounce off him
not seen a better player in this division yet - in facthis current performances are on a par with Scotty P in my opinion
He's from Portugal, and he hates Millwall, ......
I hope he gets player of the year because in a season of inconsistency all around the team he, for me, has been pretty solid for much of it.
Saw him chatting to some fans before the Carlisle game too and he seemed a genuinely nice bloke who had time for the fans. Really hope we can keep hold of him in the summer regardless of the division we are in
