Joe Allen

does anybody else think what i think?

Joe Allen has been pretty sensational so far for Swansea this season. I honestly can't see him hanging around South Wales for too long, he looks quality. i wonder if anybody in the game will pull their finger out and new him for 150k before he turns 22 next year? they should, i think he'd be a wise investment. possibly a candidate for young player of the year.

Wales have a nice crop of young players coming thru. Allen, Ramsey, Bale, Matthews, Edwards. Also Neil Taylor doesn't look like he was a player plying his trade in the conference as recently as 2010. Don't know why Man City let him go. well I do....but....

Leon Britton has been really good as well, a couple of weeks ago he was the 1st player for 4 years to have 100% pass completion in a premier league match.

what time did he come on, 93rd minute?

i'm assuming he started and finished the game though? that's quite a stadistic.

Yeah full 90 minutes, 67 passes out of 67, hardly xavi like but impressive.

has xavi ever managed 100%?

Not sure, he does average just over 100 passes a game though!

barca average 700 as a team dont they?

Gone for him this turn stu pot,

Last year when Swansea bummed the dirty reddogs in the play offs Allen and Britton looked like a championship version of xavi and iniesta,
Popping the ball around, little 5 yard passes and bags and bags of movement off the ball

My worry was could they handle themselves in the top flight, so far they look like they can,

He has been in the Hull youth academy for a while now, since Matt was their manager.

What a team Matt would have now, by the way, if he'd have managed to keep going in the game.

just a bit.

Fantastic stat for you all, the 3 players with the best passing accuracy in europe? Xavi, Thiago and Leon Britton!
