Many thanks to @ChapmanJ92 for lending me his thoughts on #CTFC's new #WBA loanee Finn Azaz:
"Big, bulky, not easily shrugged off the ball. Reminds me ever so slightly of George Thorne in that sense."
Will offer something different then to Chris Clements or Conor Thomas.

"He gets about the place, as well. From what I've seen of him, he's energetic and someone who pops up in all areas of the pitch."
Sounds like he has a willingness to influence games in different phases of play which could be a big plus.

"He's been vocal as well, particularly when Chris Brunt hasn't been playing. When Brunt did, like at Villa in the PL2 for example, Azaz played a little further forwards - the furthest forward of the midfield three that involved Rekeem Harper as well." #WBA #CTFC
The above suggests Azaz could play either as one of two deeper midfielders, but can also move further forward. Important #CTFC have at least one player who can operate in the number 10 position as I think I like Ryan Broom driving on from deep rather than starting high up.
"His height means he's a natural threat from set-pieces, but I think his ability with the ball at his feet is perhaps underrated."
Will add to #CTFC's possession game then and also potentially handy from Chris Hussey's deliveries and Ben Tozer's long throws.

"From what I've seen, I've been enthused by him. He's only 19 and like Palmer and Callum Morton and others, the opportunity to go and play EFL football is a great chance for him - he needs it now. Will be watching from afar to see how he does!" #WBA #CTFC
Sounds all in all like a very encouraging signing for the Robins. The fact he's vocal in Under-23s games would suggest Azaz has strength of character which could help him adjust better than others to senior football. #WBA #CTFC
Thanks again to @ChapmanJ92 for taking the time out to offer his take on Azaz - be sure to get following him and @birmingham_live! #WBA #CTFC
