Absolute class. Creates time for himself even when it's not there. Best player we've had since the Premier League. Really liked the look of Hayes too, who had a touch of Teddy Sherringham about him.
Maybe I'm getting carried away but looks like a league 1 Gerrard, absolutely top class today. COYR
Early days but definite similarities. And we've got the League One Beckham waiting in the wings! With Hollands alongside we can see how much the last centre mid pairing held us back. Excellent debut; work to go with obvious class
Did anyone else see his first touch after a few seconds? Was pinged at him and he killed it dead. Knew we had a player from that moment. Probably the best first touch I've seen from a Charlton player for years....
Was singing the lads praises all game, and at 22 I think we're gonna have a very good player on our hands here. Always giving other players an option, and looks like he has an eye for goal.
I think he is top drawer, but what was more impressive was that him and Holland never once got in eachothers way, they complimented eachother excellently and if it continues like that we will be a force to be reckoned with,
Dale Stephens will be buy of the season for any club if he continues to play like that, proper player,
I reckon he will set up atleast 15 to 20 goals , and score atleast 10
In the programme he said the entry on Wikipedia is wrong, his birthday is actually in July. Not that it matters.
yeah in the programme it says july not december (which wiki says) is the month of his birth , then on thr next page it says his date of birth was in june !!

Heard that as well. Amazing that they still get that wrong.
His Missus is also expecting a baby , surely they could run a creche at the valley for him and Danny Hollands, there heads are going to be all over the place , lets get Alonso fit!
