He's looking like an asbolute bargain so far, and I think his potential is immense.

Agreed, it's impressive how quickly he's adapted and improved. And if we hadn't drawn Boro in the Cup, he probably wouldn't be at Villa.

Doesn't look out of place at all playing at the top end of the Prem . Superb today .

It's hard to believe he's only been here a matter of weeks and is basically still a kid. He's just slotted in seamlessly. Only very good players do that.

I can't really see any weaknesses in his game, he ticks pretty much all the boxes. I genuinely think he's a Villa legend in the making.

Certainly seemed a left field signing at the time . Wonder was it Monchi or Emery who spotted him or someone else .

He has grown very quickly into the first team role in Ramsey's absence. Thought he was excellent for hour v Brentford last week and really good today

He’s not the only one and considering his relative inexperience he can be forgiven but he does give the ball away a bit, he’s got quite a few yellow cards as well so there’s a bit to work on but so far he’s looking like a really good signing for a very modest fee.

It is funny that he came from nowhere.   I had never heard of him and don’t think boro fans really bigged him up

My 3  oro mates loved him and were not happy when left but did say we have a top player on our hands.

He's still Boro's highest assist maker this season (8) and their second-highest goal scorer (7).  I thought he looked 'off it' a bit in his early appearances, certainly not ready for our first team, and I wondered if we'd spent wisely as he seemed like a lesser version of JJ - but in recent weeks, he's been really excellent.  It does make you wonder where Unai and his team would get his level with another year or two of top-level coaching?  In terms of natural attributes, he has the lot.

Morgan must be pinching himself. A little while ago he was turning out for a mediocre second tier club in front of 10K and now all this with European nights. I was near the tunnel on Thursday and the smile on his face when the team came out was a sight to behold. And he looks to be at home to his credit.

Definitely has the potential to be a future Ballon d'Or winner, cracking bit of business.

Insight!!!!

I love the fact that he's prepared to throw his body in where it hurts.  He's only 21 and has years of development with Unai ahead of him.  Even if we do end up paying the 12 or 15 million, whatever it is we agreed.  Proper bargain.  I fancy he will be called up for England in the next 18 months to 2 years.

Ah, the old John Gregory scouting-school of "He played well against us, let's buy him".

Years later we're still such amateurs. Where's our South American glut of talent á la Brighton? FFS.
