He seems to be able to make things happen through pace and trickery as well as by intelligently involving those around him. Not bad for a 20 year old.

I am quite excited myself..
Let's just hope he fills his potential and stays with us till he retires.
Nah, that would suck.
Well hopefully his skills will excite people, his looks won't
So good-looking footballers usually get you excited, eh?
Just noticed, Aguero is far better looking than Ronaldo, he doesn't look as greasy and has nice eyes
And yes Name Changed, Aguero is handsome guy.
Whatever floats your boat buddy.
so does anyone know how long he will be out for .. will he play in any of the preseason games (the ones we play after coming back from the tour) .. i would love to see him sometime before the season starts
He might become a Legend here, who knows ?
Horrible!
Loads of stuff we´ve seen before, but this one also contains a few pieces of skill/pace we haven't seen yet in the other vids.
so what is the exact injury that he is carrying currently that is forcing him not to be a part of our far east tour?
Looks like a similar sort of player to Ryan Babel...
Gabby speaks pretty good english, good stuff.
He seems grounded, humble and with a good sense of perspective. I like him already
Same goes for Valencia and Owen, we have a great bunch of players. No ego clashes.
My brother had just commented on how good his English was, and the next thing Obertan comes out with "I am not pretentious"
Fergie said that he wanted to sign him before but couldnt because of his education programme. It's good that he already speaks the language, makes things easier
feck you
By the way, was there anything mentioned on his injury?
Slight ankle knock apparently.
Him speaking apparently decent english will help settle in very well.
He speaks better than Evra
He speaks better than Evra
Yeah, he spoke great english, love how he used the word pretentious in the interview.
Yeah I too was shocked as to how well he spoke..
Better grasp of the English language than some English players..
carragher?
obertan supposedly has a high level of formal education compared to most footballers so no surprises that he has good command of english.
where did you all hear him speak English?
He must have been very good in english cause french people are really bad with foreign languages
in the press conference today
come on kouroux, we aren't that bad.
As for Obertan, I said it a while ago, he has had a decent education for a footballer
here is to me quoting myself

I am happy with the signing of Obertan, mainly because the reported fee of £3m is inferior to the standard price for a promising winger.
Besides I heard a few interviews from him recently and he sounds rather clever, which is always useful even on a football pitch. Apparently he has the Baccalauréat in France, which equals to GCSE in Literature hence he must have notions of English, not as much as me of course (
Last I heard that's what they want us all to think.
It's true though, out of 100 people, not more than 20 would speak decent english
Eeeeerm I don't know like eeeerm, at the end of the day it's the same errrm language errrm..
