"If you allow [Azaz] to play, he's a good player and he could destroy us so I think somebody needs to get into him and niggle him a little bit.
"Maybe Alan Browne's your man to maybe just go in and fairly challenge him two or three times in the first 10 minutes. I think he might [then] just shrink from the game."
Middlesbrough fan Bob Smedley analyses the club's summer recruitment and previews midfielder Finn Azaz's upcoming confrontation with his former club when Boro visit Southampton on Saturday (15:00 BST).
Smedley identifies Alan Browne as the "unsung signing" of the summer and tips him to be able to handle Azaz, who made 23 league goal contributions for Boro last season.
