How many games do we give a player to see if he's up to our standard?
Is this the same Ashley Young that was too old a few weeks ago and shouldn't be playing
It's just hard to see where he's going to fit in, or do well. You need pace in this game, especially as a wide player. It's all very well having talent but if you haven't got the phyicality or the speed, you're going to struggle as a wide player. Jota was the same, although Buendia is better than him.

He’s clearly a good footballer, they just need to find a way to get the best from him.
Grealish had unbelievable control though, and was no slouch when he got going. He was entirely impossible to dispossess fairly as well, meaning he never lost possession by being tackled or knocked off the ball. The absolute polar opposite of Buendia in that regard.I really hope Buendia makes it, I just don't think he will.
