The Next Roy Keane?

Classy Congolese acclaimed king of Grimsby's midfield

This blog can take fancy to a player from the lower divisions from time to time. Note Mr. Thruman's obsession with moving Dean Ashton from Norwich to Arsenal. And while it is fun to make fun of his name, perhaps there is more to Jean-Paul Kamudimba Kalala (JPK) than just his moniker.

Strong, hard-running and more than capable of mixing it with the hard men of League Two when required, Kalala's instant control and immediate, accurate distribution - both long and short - has brought a touch of real class to the Mariners midfield and, as Spurs found out, he has an eye for goal and a hard shot which has seen him score five times in 13 games.

Do those sound like the qualities that certain clubs in the EPL could use in their midfield? Certain clubs currently relying on converted strikers or untried youngsters? Certain clubs who couldn't afford to bid against Chelsea for Essien? Sound familar? Anyone?
