It would have been nice to get Barkley back on-loan til May with Bouba out. Harsh on Luton though.

Why do you think Luton would have agreed to that?

I don't. Just think in the form he's in and Bouba out, he'd be a great option for us.

Well He was valued at £1m not long ago, not sure if he's worth 800% more than that all of a sudden , time will tell.

And Kamara was valued at £0 not so long ago, so contractual run down signings are generally cheap or cost nothing, so I wouldn't read anything into that.

I don't actually think £8M is too bad for a young kid with his numbers in the Championship & League Cup. I had serious doubts until I checked his numbers & they weren't too bad for £8M. Especially as he has the frame & physical attributes that can be worked with by a manager who is great at coaching individual players.

But all that aside, the point was that he hasn't looked "out of his depth" & has shown some positive signs that can be worked with.

And at the same time, accepting that there are areas of his game that are weak & definitely need working on too.

He's not the finished article. But he's not out of his depth either.

All about opinions for me he looked out of his depth vs Ajax and second half vs luton.

Dont see the point of signing him if zaniolo is still getting game time ahead of him. Another ghing that annoyed me today was that decision

Zaniolo is shite

I think after Rogers 2nd half horror show at luton , Emery lost confidence in him and today obviously opted for Zaniolo instead.

I don't think any of them were as bad as Rogers disappearing act last weekend in Luton.

Exactly.  At least rodgers is our player and we can develop him. Zaniolo has no future now. Whats the point of giving him so many minutes. He adds nothing but a booking and stinky performances

Not writing him off , just don't think he's ready for the Prem . I'd play him v Ajax though.

Think its a bit premature tbh. Only recently joined and one start. Zaniolos been awful near enough all season.  If i was a bettee man i reckon rodgees would get more assists goals than zaniolo has if given same amount of minutes

for me Zaniolo is a Nr9 striker , Rogers I'm not sure yet where his best position is.

Some good work tonight, I thought. He needs to learn control, his composure on and off the ball leaves something to desire. There’s definitely a good player in there, hopefully with a good pre season we will see the best of him.
