"greatest WING i've ever seen" scans better than winger.

But unfortunately makes no sense. Drummond's version said "greatest winger I have seen", which scans perfectly well.

“Greatest winger I’ve ever seen ….

Maybe?

Nah, the Risso version scans better.

Creep!

It was Drummond anyway! I was just pointing that his version scanned perfectly well.

I’ve slept on it and think paul_e is correct.

Creep!

Saw this on Twitter.....

YOU TO ME ARE EVERYTHING, THE GREATEST WINGER I HAVE SEEN, OH BAILEY, OH BAILEY

That is brilliant. A great song and it will be an excellent song for Leon.

Looked a really good player but one small moan, get hold of the ball before you look to do the trick.  Some nice touches.  I'd like to see him AND Traore in the same side.  Very exciting.

He tried best thing to say about him.  Too little time on pitch to properly assess

I liked how Alonso was willing to take a yellow just because he nutmegged him. Proper "don't make me look a fool" booking  ;D Going to cause all sort of problems for the opposition I reckon

I thought he looked excellent when he came on. Loved that bit when he chased back in our area, won the ball, then megged their player to bring it out of defence. Given a proper run think he'll be fantastic.

I agree.  Any full-back will be very aware he is playing and be reluctant to leave any space behind with his pace and tricks.

Has he been bought as a ready-made first team player or what?

Brilliant today, 80-90 minutes of that every week and we'll batter a fair few teams.

Serious game changing talent. It is a real coup he’s ours.

As seemingly a rare Bundesliga watcher on here I told you he was class.

Will be a brilliant option for us in end to end games. So frustrating if he can't make next week or Spurs.
