I'm not sure he's the one we want to be bringing on when we need a goal. Send him out on loan next season.

Yep, he's got some good attributes but he needs to play regularly to show if he's good enough for English football. He wasn't Emery's choice so I think we'll see him out on loan next year.

Do we spend Ł18 million on a striker and then loan him out  ?

I'm still not sure what the point of him is, when we could have had Archer as a credible goal threat instead.

Haven't seen enough of him so far.

Would like to see him up top with Ollie

Seemed a good bit off the pace when he came in.

He looks a yard dog to me but yard dogs can have good careers.

Until he starts a game or even gets a full 45 mins I'm not sure how anyone can form an opinion.

His lack of awareness is what points towards my first opinion of him

I’d suggest let’s wait and see.

He's a hot young talent and we got him. Whether he stays, or goes on loan, he's ours and nobody else's. Similarly with Archer. Emery will decide what's best for us and them and we'll see where it goes.

It's hard to judge him yet. He looks like a right handful to play against and is a physical presence. He's another player Europe would be good for.

He's a good bet for a booking.

You simply can't judge him on a few substitute appearances. He needs far more game time to get up to speed along with good coaching which he will get under UE and his staff. He's already a full Columbian international and scored his first goal recently. He's only 19.

The age thing is important.  Yes, he's come here for decent money, and he will be expected to make an impact on the first team, but he's six months younger than Louie Barry, who we all still regard as a kid - and a full two years younger than Archer.  A Championship loan next season would do him the world of good.

We bought potential, so let's not get to do disappointed we haven't seen much from him in a few fleeting sub appearances.  If we're still talking about potential when he's 21, fair enough, but it's still far too early.

I will leave the like of Duran and Blundia for Emery to sort out, he's got better knowledge then I
