Without a doubt yes - we did seem to miss him. Think if we had Cousins, Diarra, and Buyens that would leave us needing one more CM to really challenge (even though I still feel JBG can do a decent job in the middle if he were still here).
We don't have anyone better and he's good enough for us as things are. For some reason though I get the impression that he would prefer to be else where. Based on nothing but the vibe I get from his interviews and the fact he goes missing when we're not playing well.
yes yes yes yes. He's the best actual footballer we have.
Would stick RJ or TW a notch above him in that rankings. He's very good and wouldn't look too out of place in the PL.. IF and big if, he could get stuck in and tackle. He also needs another very decent CM alongside him as he can find himself in trouble at times, he's adapting well to the Champ though credit to him

The word from Standard fan forums at the time was that he was being pulled out of Standard because of some personal problem involving another player and a woman. In that sense we got lucky because he was clearly a highly rated player for them. But they also spoke of him as a box to box player, whereas it looked to me that Peeters mainly played him in a role that essentially replaced Poyet, and maybe that is why he hasn't quite lived up to that star billing. But if he doesn't really want to be here, there probably is no point. A pity, but nobody's fault. Thanks for the superb penalties.
Yes, for his first year in English football I think he's done well and should improve for that experience. He was in the away crowd at Millwall, maybe we're growing on him.
Yes, and in january I posted that I never wanted him in a Charlton shirt again. He has turned himself into a player I want in the team every week, and he's now been 'blooded' in the English game. Why spend another season trying to get someone new to adapt?
I would prefer someone better as I think he is quite mediocre - very hit and miss, drifts in and out of games, occasional good pass and a lot of bad ones, not strong enough in challenges. But in our network world he would be a cheap option and has some skill. So in the scheme of things we could do worse.
