From what I see of him on the few videos I've watched, he's certainly technical enough to thrive in BRs system. Hopefully that will translate up the leagues.

yes, see Ryan Babel... That said, I'd have been interested to see him in Rodger's 4-3-3... oh well...

Word on Babel is he's off to Fiorentina

More comments:

He was part of the - i would say - best attack of last years eredivisie. The striker Dost went to Wolfsburg, right-winger Narsingh went to PSV and now left-winger Assaidi to Liverpool. All in all a great compliment for Heerenveen.
Ajax was in the market for Assaidi, but couldn't agree on his wages. He is a real technical winger. An attractive footballer, it's fun to watch him play. He's really worked his way up from the second devision even, so that pleads for his character. He could work on efficiency i guess. And i'm sure the defenders in the Premier League will be a lot stronger than him.
Big surprise for everyone. Congrats on signing him.

He's a skilful Moroccan winger; has excellent close control and a high retention of pace when running with the ball and is extremely agile. Although right-footed, he plays on the left flank and looks to cut inside using his trickery, in a style not wildly dissimilar to Eljero Elia.
He has a good immediate burst of pace to pass defenders but his "top gear" may let him down in the EPL. He can supply decent through balls at times and has good attacking nous in that final third, but his passing gets progressively worse from deeper positions. In general, his final ball is an area that could do with improvement, but he's currently on a similar level to Scott Sinclair if that helps given an indication of his ability. However, he can be very selfish at times (unsurprising for a tricky winger, really).
The one aspect about him that, based on his Eredivisie form, could be his undoing is his poor defensive work.
To put it frankly, I'm uncertain as to whether he'll be a starter under Rodgers but he does give Liverpool a good option out wide. However, he does occupy the left flank, so it would raise questions as to where Downing would play.

Well if nothing else he provides some depth at a position we sorely need since the departures of Kuyt, Maxi, and Bellars. I'll be excited to see if his skills can translate to BR's game. Happy to have him on board!

Yep. Depth really is the most important thing right now. He will have plenty of time to transition to the England game through the early stages of the domestic cups and substitute appearances against bottom-table teams. He is technically gifted which really is the only demand for BR's scheme.

Thats all I am thinking is expected of him for now...

waaaaaay out of left field but welcome aboard

Why did none of you draft Borini until like the 9-10th round? Isn't he going to be up top with Suarez nearly all the games and is supposed to be a good finisher/etc?
Just confused as to if I'm missing something

He's a solid pick. He'll score goals but there will surely be a transition period in the EPL. Him and Suarez should carry the scoring load.

the LFC online store has free worldwide shipping going on right now until the 20th fyi. I'm looking for a reason to get that 3rd top.

No doubt and Spearing too if Rodgers has any brains.
