I love how he celebrates team goals like he scored them himself - I think he might have a little part in Sterling's renewed confidence because of it. He really does work hard from what I've seen of him too.

He absolutely loves Sterling! Celebrated by holding Sterling up in the air pointing at him. Class guy.

Has the right spirit and attitude which can only be positive. His movement is excellent and I think he can finish which provides a real threat. Bargain signing for what he is brining us.

He's just a team player. 100% all about the team. Wouldn't sulk if he had a match on the bench. Would always look to set someone else up. Buzzin his teets off when someone else scores. Brilliant! I remember when we won Div 1 under Keegan a Hucks was asked what his favourite memory of the season was and he said Goater scoring x amount of goals. Class!

don't think he has enough pace
also, he's only been up against lower/mid-table teams and a foreign pub team

i didn't know much about him before he arrived but think he's been excellent so far.

Furthermore, it's great having a left sided player so we don't have to play Sterling there as he's much better on the right.

not according to him ;)

“My favourite position is on the left but I’m happy to play anywhere across the front three,” the 21-year-old reflected. “The manager came in and told me he likes seeing me on the right and I’ve done that and luckily it’s worked well so far."

lucky eh?

Luckily he's not the manager. He can just focus on having another baby to add to his 500.

He scored two tap ins so far and one around the keeper with FCSB.

Not the best finisher, but has time. Last year he scored 13 league goals for Celta. If he gets the same number I will be pleased.

Loving his link up play with Silva and Kun in and around the box. It's like he's played with them for a number of seasons, let alone games.

For £14m in this day and age we have got ourselves a real bargain.

I don't think Mourinho will like you referring to the Scum as "a foreign pub team" NT....even though they are.

He might send the Men in Black round to come knocking on your door.

It won't be long til he cuts in from the left and curls one beauty into top corner...as he always tries the same thing surely it will come off one day

it's been a good start from him and he looks like he has played in peps system for years which is no doubt why pep wanted him
