maybe because he is actually shite?

You may well be right, it's just too early to say one way or the other.  With his pace and dribbling clubs will take a chance on him and if one of them finds a way to improve the rest of his game he could still turn out to be a very effective player.

I think he'll end up being good. I thought that when he played for us, and I still think so. He's spent two seasons at teams fighting for their lives and often having loads of players behind the ball. I think he could do well in a team which expected to be on the front foot more often, breaking down stubborn defences.

I'm not always right, mind. I thought Luke Moore was going to be the new Gary Shaw.

I'm with you on this one Mr U. He's just another bling merchant chasing the money

I'd love him to prove us doubters wrong - but to me, he just looks like he's had some very hot mustard poured onto his bollocks and is running as fast as he can in a straight line to find water.

I believe he is now the Dingles record signing.

We must be 4m better off today  ;D

I still can't work this bloke out all. He apparently had patches of great form for Boro last season but all i saw against us was the same frustrating player we did when he was here

I heard some statistic on 5 Live yesterday that he'd completed something like a million more dribbles than any other player in the Championship last season so was slightly surprised to see he only scored 5 goals and assisted (whatever that means) on 13.

In fairness, that's probably a record for a player forced to play under Pulis.

They were going to be signing Lionel Messi. They broke their transfer record on Adama Traore.

In fairness to him, he was by far their biggest threat against us in playoffs. Did ok at Villa Park if I recall correctly, however Grealish still looked miles above him in quality.

His decision making on the ball is still awful from what I've seen.

Apart from a tremendous athletic ability, based primarily on straight line pace, I really cannot see what all the hype was about him.

£18m the game has gone mental

Leander Dendoncker reportedly signing too. That's some first team squad now.

Big gamble taken by Wolves, but perhaps Nuno can get the best out of him, I wish him well.
