Remi Garde isn't impressed.Says he has to become more of a team player before he will be considered for the first team.

That is just the type of player you want coming on as sub.  Sometimes individualism shakes the lethargy of the other players to raise their own game.

He's got the skill, but appears to be a headless chicken.

Hes not good enough to be in the team. Garde said as much when asked about him,Kozac and Okore. Garde said the teams he had picked so far consisted of the best players he had seen at the club. God knows how poor theses three are if that is the case.

and it worked well for Traore against Palace

His appearance at Chelsea was from the Ali Dia school

would like to see him on the bench today though, rather him than Sinclair coming in

And if Garde thinks these 3 aren't better than what we have it's another in the long line of wastes of money, there's something like £16m worth of fee's there and we've barely got anything out of any of them so far. We talk about MON and him wasting money but it hasn't just been him, we've hardly got a tune out of any of the players we've signed the last 6/7 years, shit managers and shit signings.

well as far as Adama is concerned there were other clubs chasing his signature so it's an odd one - hopefully he'll come good before too long.

If Barca didn't see potential in him, would they have gone for the buyback or do they do that for every player that leaves as a no risk hedge?

If they really did rate him, it shows that Bodymore really can coach the talent out of anyone!

File under Ayew, runs with the ball until he gets tackled.

Barca fans rate him, they were a bit pissed off that he'd gone, judging from their tweets when it was announced.

I can't believe people are writing him off already, he hasn't had much of a chance at all.

All I know is that he played two games, looked easily our best and most exciting player, got injured and hasn't really had a chance since. I'm more than happy to see him in over N'Zogbia or Bacuna.

He's definitely needed as an exciting option.

He looked pumped up for it yesterday both physically and mentally. Give him some starts and see what happens. We have nothing to lose

seemed very reluctant to move for the ball unless it was perfectly into his feet. Not interested in tracking back. Didn't even  seem to know when to move into space to give an option to hutton. But this is probably true of the whole team.
However I would still use him right away I think he'll be finished by the time he's 24. He definatly won't be at Villa

I like him but for me he holds onto the ball for far too long. Also he isn't keen on tracking back after he loses it.
