Swanson call up

29 September 2011

If he can stay fit and produce the form which he has done over the last month he can make a contribution in these games. The boy is a class apart from the usual lumbering and talentless midfield players we have in the SPL and it's great to see him in.

This underlines that Levein is trying to include guys who have the technical attributes, but maybe lack the physical side. For me this is the right way to go, for too long we went with players who had nothing but "passion". This is a disguise for a player with no ability who will run around all day long.

Well done the Swan, a deserved chance.

Hardly see the boy play, so cant comment. Getting a lot of stick from OF fans.

Sometimes we dont appreciate our players until they go down south!

Glad to see him given a chance, not seen much of him, but impressed by what I have.

Great young prospect by all accounts , good that we have so many young guys doing well and giving some hope to the national side in the next few years.

Easily the most technically gifted player in Scotland, and probably the whole UK too. Only David Silva runs him close.

Also the tallest player in the UK, and the best at chess.
