Yeah that's a good point. I think of vdB as some kind of little boy because he looks like he's just about started shaving. I really should stop that though, so thank you.
What I will say is that I'm particularly excited about vdB's technical prowess, because it's something I feel we've been strangely starved of post-Fergie. Even Van Gaal, who was known as a technical coach who wanted his teams to pass the opposition to death, ended up with a team lacking in comfortable ball-players in advanced areas (apart from the likes of Carrick and Rooney on their last legs and Mata on the right). Post-Jose we've now got Pogba, Bruno and hopefully vbB to arrive, which is a huge improvement in that department.
I would say he’s nowhere near as gifted as a Bruno for example, he brings different qualities. Don’t get me wrong though, he’s technically very proficient. Just less of a flair player, more Germanic like efficiency. He plays high tempo. He’ll give us handy options both when the bus is being parked or on the counter. But we have more flamboyant players in the squad.
