Anyone know what is happening to him? Bound to take some time to acclimatise, but has he even played a game for reserves/youth?

CB look very difficult to break through, but with this pace, he could be a better back-up to Magic.

He's played a lot of reserve Games. He looks the shit by all accounts.

He'll get a debut in a cup somewhere

He means "the" shit, as in he looks great.

 

[red_maradona]

I missed "the". Great to hear. Let's hope we see him on the bench soon. Was he playing cb?

Apparently so

So to clarify you mean "the shit" as in "the bees knees"?

I mean in case "the shit" hits the fan.

I was going to reply with something sarcastic like, I much prefer the dog's bollocks to the bee's knees but having found this on Google:
What is the origin of the phrase 'the bee's knees'?

The phrase was first recorded in the late 18th century, when it was used to mean 'something very small and insignificant'. Its current meaning dates from the 1920s, at which time a whole collection of American slang expressions were coined with the meaning 'an outstanding person or thing'. Examples included the flea's eyebrows, the canary's tusks, and one that still survives - the cat's whiskers. The switch in meaning for the bee's knees probably emerged because it was so similar in structure and pattern to these other phrases.

I have no idea why 'the flea's eyebrows' didn't catch on. Shame.

Saw him for the ressies v Sunderland. He was excellent in a great team performance. Played at cb and gave a Hansenesque type of performance.
