If he wasn't good enough to set the world alight at Grimsby he clearly hasn't proved himself good enough for our first team. Loan him out again. If he impresses, recall him.

As above, the manager who loaned him in was sacked a few games later, there's plenty of reasons why a new manager coming in would decide to stick with his permanent players over the loanees he didn't choose so I don't think you can read anything into it beyond it just not being a good loan for anyone.

Highly rated by United. Play him in his best position - Centre-half!

Yeah, maybe. He can still prove himself somewhere else before being parachuted straight into the team, though.

Seeing Boreinhno has spent all summer moaning about getting a centre-half in and has 5 already, he obviously doesn't rate Tuanzebe that highly.

Mourinho very rarely puts his trust in kids. Especially in defence. Varane the exception

Mail are suggesting he'll play left back which I'm not keen on. Not that the mail has a great track record at this sort of thing

I think he could be used in a 3-5-2 or just as one of centre halves and hope he is.

Has more athletic ability than elphick however in some matches in international champions cup was exposed.

I think he's good enough to be part of defence and would have him centre back with cheesie or in a 3 with Jedinak .
wasn’t he meant to have initially been signed as a deep lying defensive midfielder, or did I just imagine that?

This is the only signing which worries me. He seemed a bit positionally poor and gave the ball away. Very quick though, but the similarities with Micah concern me. Not sure he’s a center half really. Anyhow fingers crossed on this one

Playing at right-back yesterday vs Wigan . Copes well there but would really like to see him in a centre back role .

This is because I think he can develop there whereas Bruce seems to put experience of Jedinak there instead !

Doesn't like to be rushed and plays or at least tries to at his own pace.

Can appear casual in hoping to be classy.

Thought he played really well last night. Positionally was very good, and has 'recovery pace' in abundance to get himself (and his fellow defenders) out of trouble.  Looks comfortable on the left-handside of the back 2 - which is where Terry played - which should also help him gel with Chester. Needs to start there at Ipswich now, IMO.

Thought he looked good after a bit of a sloppy start. Should do well next to Chester.

Except, as a centre-back, Jedinak is tried and tested as a not-very-good one.

He should play at centre half, especially as Jedi is appalling in that role.
