Yes, the only player worthy of the name.

He's done well. I think he's benefited from the pace of the games so far. There's still an air of pre-season about the way sides have played against us. So I hope that under pressure his game has improved, but the sad truth is, if we're talking about next season, he won't be here. Someone will snap him up and he'll undoubtedly want to be moving on. Championship is no good for him. What we could really do with, is 1-2 world class belters from 30 yards from him. We look like we'll only score scrappy goals at the moment, or potentially spectacular.

100% out MOTM again. If you'd told me that he'd be the one player who'd look bang up for it after the restart i'd have laughed in your face.

Quite the turnaround for me. Well done Douglas

If we go down Man City will buy him back IMO and loan him to another Prem team

Probably best player again. He really has come back a dfferent player, clearly worked hard in lockdown, looks fit, lasting whole games, tackling improved and he is showing leadership off the pitch. Keep it going Dougie.

Agreed, hopefully we can hold onto him.

His post-Lockdown form has put him on the list of players that we need to try and ensure we keep a hold of. He's playing more maturely than a 22-year old now.

Post lockdown, he’s the only positive for me.

He’s reading the game really well and seems more aware of what’s going on around him.

Much improved, so I guess he’ll be another that goes if the inevitable happens.

I'd like him to stay but Brazil think highly of him. Captain of their Olympic side and they called him up for the November friendlies. Doubt there's little chance of him getting called up in the championship so depends how strongly he wants to bind his international career for a year or two.

Sometimes playing a year in championship can be making of a player as Adama showed at Boro.

He’s been excellent. Can’t see we’ve got any hope of keeping him if we go down.

He's also one of our few players that doesn't look terrified of decent opposition. For example he got really stuck into Traore.

Been reasonably impressed by him since restart.

Which probably means we'll lose him.

Wouldn't be surprised if Pep took him back now that he'll get a work permit for them.

Not sure he would get a work permit for them. He hasn't been playing in Europe, has hardly played for Brazil and would be nowhere near one of their better paid players.
