No surprise to me at all

The bloke who bought him didn't play him much, and McLeish obviously doesn't fancy him either. No pace and can't tackle. Bannan is a far better prospect, as he showed on Saturday.
Surprised by these "hasn;t really impressed"comments. Okay he's a bit rash in the challenge but so is Delph.

Totally agree, Delph is like Frank Spencer on roller skates in the tackle. I think people are little disappointed that Makoun isn't the sort of Essien style midfield enforcer that he was billed as, but you don't have to be overly physical to anchor a midfield. His game is to do things simply, get it, move it then offer for it and attempt to get the ball off the opposition by interceptions and positioning. I think that when he came over here he may have overcompensated and threw himself into the tackle a bit too often, but I'd give him a chance to find a way to play his natural game in this league. His performance at Old Trafford should be enough to perusade anyone that we should give him a chance to do just that.
Not happy with this, firstly I think he's a good player and secondly I just got a shirt with his name on the back.
considering the lightweight nature of the squad - in terms of personnel - and the fact we probably won't replace him, what is the point of selling when he has only played half a dozen times for the club? Unless he has said something to Agent Blue i cannot see the sense in flogging Jean Makoun, especially when u consider the reception he got when he signed for the club. Give him a season at least.
