Payne looks like a right little technically gifted nasty bastard we’ve been missing. Think he’s gonna be a really important player for us this year.
I listened to the NtT20 podcast with their season preview and they described him as “not system proof, but he knows Garner’s system, so it’s bound to work” which I think is probably spot on.
He looks so good. The ball was getting whizzed into him and he was killing it dead. Then pinging balls flat and fast and perfectly weighted. The guy has got some tekkers.

Thought the same. Very good. I hope he finds a regular place. I suspect Fraser is who he’s battling with to start. Both technically excellent players and great we’ve got that competition.
Wasn’t sure why we signed another midfielder, didn’t think we needed to either! But we have a serious player here. I think he’ll be one our best signings of the year!
Saw him shopping in Asda the other day, my boys got all excited and started singing charlton songs at him but were too nervous to go up to him. He looked up and gave them a big smile and wave and they were super excited. Seems a nice guy. I also expected him to have some big gas guzzling flashy car but he had a nice sensible tesla (still a bit flashy) but not what I imagined

Has the ability of Williams, better than Oztumer but the tenacity and desire to win of Kinsella. The nice guy stuff was fine for a season but we need bite and he brings that.

Not sure about the William's statement mate, he has fallen over yet ?

Pretty good assessment, i've been impressed so far.
If he stays fit, i can see him being a fan favourite and in the running for POTY.
Based on what I've seen, the midfield 3 best suits his all-action style. He wants to be involved as much as possible. Having him as a sub to bring on in the midfield is frankly a c***t c**e and I reckon Garner realised after Sheffield Wednesday that bringing him on as a winger wasn't the right move, not because he's no good there (he is) but because he would have given us that central boost, that jolt of energy we needed

Back on Payne. Knew he was short but was shocked when I saw him last night. Makes DJ look 8 foot tall.
And blimey how is Leaburn that big as a teenager?
So could easily have Fraser and Payne in the team, with the latter replacing one of the wide players.
I mean if we can do that against a Championship side, so no harm in doing it at our level
Very, very exciting player.

Be good to see him in a fixed position as he runs the risk of being used anywhere from midfield positions to the wide forward roles.
For those who have followed his career, where do you think he's best suited?
Got to be worth a go. The traditionalists can call it 4-4-2 and the hipsters 4-2-3-1.
