He could be a better signing than most think. Like, less of a risk than say for example Markovic, who hasn't done it so far. Plenty of experience, little bit more mature at 28, strong and pretty direct, won things already - and has come here probably on less wages to play more regularly, and it seems in a more central position.
I like the fact that he could've signed a new contract at City, but decided to take on a new challenge - at least it sounds like there is real hunger still there.
Only thing, does he replace Stevie's goals from that position ? - not sure, SG was a brilliant finisher. Is he a leader ? - again, not sure.
Still, overall, could do a lot worse.
