Looks very left footed, and from the video does not look the kind of player who likes to track back. On the plus side he looks skilful, and looks like he has a decent general understanding of the game.
Quick, technical and left footed? Could be played on the left side of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1. Given that we've got a few decent looking DMs now that could be a possibility. Doesn't look the sort of player to be part of a 2 in central mid, more of an inside forward/attacking mid. I'm pretty excited to see what he can do.
Hopefully he will benefit from regular games like Song and Coquelin did, but with him being on a contract instead of a loan we'll get the benefit of a decent player at the end of it (or an undisclosed fee!).
It'll be interesting to see where he fits in, central midfield, out wide or up front. I expect he'll be on the bench to start with.

Why? I might be missing something but he's a 22 year old with barely any experience. Hopefully turns out to be a good signing but he's not proven at senior level over here.
Being at Spurs doesn't mean a great deal either, they've kept players like Obika into their early 20s even though it was clear he wouldn't play for them.
Well, Luzon's added a bit of muscle and bite, and now a bit of flair as well. Put the new defenders and Henry into the equation as well and that is a very promising looking team - we can fight the scrappers and play a bit too... on paper. Presumably entering the loan market should an injury crisis pop up.
Delighted they've got him as they clearly wanted him. Based only on the vids he's obviously got great feet and a nice turn of pace in tight corners; just the kind of flair we need alongside the muscle we've already brought in. He's had a while to settle in England too so hopefully that will have prepared him for the more physical approach he's likely to encounter outside the top flight. Will he be brave when the going gets tough? Will he impose himself enough to be more than a late game-changer? Who knows? Welcome aboard our ever-changing ship.
This is making a lot of middle age men, Feel like it's Christmas day and we are kids again. I wish you lot would keep your money in your pocket regarding CAFC. As soon as Igor was told last season that fans had got crazy odds on him being top scorer he went AWOL for a few months.(scoring wise)
The crazy thing is we still don't have a clue how many of these new players will settle in the Championship? BUT at least the fans can see that KM and RD are trying to improve the team from last season.
One thing we're lacking and have been for years is a creative midfielder who can unlock defences and create chances from the middle. Looks like we've plugged that gap. Good to see with this, as well as Makienok, we're noticing the areas of concern this window. Just need to get some centre halves in now
Yeah, but he OBVIOUSLY won't be ready in time for Saturday's game, so what was the point? He's going to be soooo far behind with all the team bonding and match fitness, what a waste of time...
Forgot to mention; a couple of superb passes with great vision on that longer video. Let's hope Igor and Tony are ready to make the runs to get on the end of them...
Now then, this IS an exciting signing. We have plenty of defensive midfielders and "work-horses" (no offence intended) in the squad but Cris looks like exactly the attacking central midfielder we have been crying out for. Some of his passes in those clips are sublime.
Welcome Cristian. If you do as well for us as Alex Pritchard did at Brentford we will be well happy.

Saying he is proper mustard?
...first clip on @valleygary 's video.. doh.

Welcome to the Valley Cristian.
Great signing.
Well done RD and KM etc.
It's going be a good season, lifers.
Didn't expect it to be permanent either - well done everyone at the club!
Not looking forward to writing the Preview against Queens Park Rangers, dont have a clue what Squad will get picked
He can do kick ups yay....

Counts as a home grown player too due to years at Spurs. Will be important given how many non-home grown players we have while needing 9 in the 18.
Welcome and good luck, seems like something a bit different to what we have.
Ps. This is exactly what I wrote on the Bergditch thread with a name change. I think I will simply cut and paste it to our next few signings too!
was very Gudmundssonesque.
