In the papers they are saying that he is very impressive in practice but unpredictable.

( Yes, the opposing goalkeeper )

Everybody wants him to start but it looks unlikely. I am just hoping that the manager is holding an ace up his sleeve and surprises Rangers and the Panathinaikos support on Thursday night, by playing him.

I will go anyway and hopefully see the start of a very illustrious career.
Interesting. Something you don't see everyday, that - wonder what the outcome would be if he did it in an actual match!
