come on he will be great ..... first of all he is at perfect age , he is young and experienced as well and that is what we need because we don't need someone who is too young we already have great youngsters matic ,clifford and mcehearen ..... and not too old we already had ballack and deco .... plus he has impressed a lot last year and was great with Germany so far ..... he is strong , fast , he has good running legs , defends well , has a good shot and his passes long and short are both good so what else do we need ...... i dont think 25 millions are too much for a player like him as prices has changed a lot in the last couple of years ....... as a matter of fact comparing him to our last signing if i could chose i would have choosen 25 mill schweinsteiger over 18 mill zhirkov ........ prices have increases a lot and we have to adapt we will never be able to sign players we need with 10 - 20 millions anymore or else we will always end up with a benayoun
