The footwork and body control he has for such a big and powerful player is incredible!! He has a fair few tricks that he can pull when he is on the ball!!
I've seen a few people compare the lad to Gerrard, which is probably a little unfair but I certainly understand where they are coming from. Stevie was definitely better at a few things than what Emre is ever likely to be (long passing, shooting from distance, and probably a little faster in a dead sprint), but Can is probably already better at a few other things (stronger, better tackler, better weak foot, and better dribbling skills) than Stevie ever was.
I think this kid is going to be a really big player for us this year. It may take him a little while to settle into the team, but when he does he is going to be a real beast in our midfield!!
