I watched Cullen last night against Vitesse. He's very unfussy, he's an organiser, and while he's not as ambitious as I think he could be, he is what every cm should be, and that's always available for a teammate.
Anderlecht fans do like him, that's clear, and he's developing nicely there. It's a real pity that it's taken him so long to become a first choice player somewhere. Plenty of "Cullen 8" jerseys floating around the ground. He carried the ball into play quite well yesterday, showing some really good awareness. It's a part of his game that has definitely improved. He wasn't involved in the 2nd or 3rd goal, but he was the player to break down Vitesse at his own box to start the moves that led to the 3rd goal, and the penalty which they won (and missed) in the last minute.
he's a nailed on starter in Portugal, and he's a future captain I would say.
