Is Keita going to unlock packed defences or is he just going to add to the list of players who like running forwards fast?
The lad might make us even harder to play against with the top 6 clashes but againat the bottom feeders he's going to find himself running into a brick wall like the rest of them.
We need some finesse in amongst the chaos i'm afraid.
Listen to the Swansea manager and he says it himself.
We're a formula 1 car in a traffic jam.
To be fair though, don't let the stereotype of the black African midfielder (athletic, strong, not so technical) fool you.
Yeah Keita is great at fast transitions but he's also a great dribbler (has some of the best numbers in the league) and can really pick a pass. Contrast that to, say, Gini Wijnaldum who hardly ever even attempts to take on an opponent, and is very conservative with his passing, and you have a significant improvement going forward.
Is he going to be the answer? I don't expect one single player to solve all our issues, but I am sure he can help a lot.
