From the youtube video looks very much a deep lying playmaker, something in my opinion we have lacked since Greening. Now i was never Greenings biggest fan, but one thing he never did was give the ball away, and he was crucial to the way we played then, allowing us to keep possession.
Recently, under Roy, we were happy to let the opposition have the ball, keeping men behind the ball and challenging them to break us down, it worked reasonably well, but my god was it boring.
Hopefully if we get Yacob he can be a better version of Greening, keeping things ticking along from midfield, also allowing Mulumbu/Morrison to do the box-to-box midfield role that they both do so well.
Would be an exciting signing if hes as good as he meant to be.
