This lad is going to play for England in the next 12 months. There, I’ve said it.

If he hadn't got injured I reckon he'd have been in the extended England squad before the Euros, at the very least.

Where do we reckon he will end up playing most? Centre forward, left wing, number 10 behind a striker?

He's such a good physical specimen which coupled with his ability makes him so useful. I think his rate of progress has influenced our willingness to let Diaby go.

I love him. He’s going to be an absolute superstar.

I’m fascinated who spotted him, who saw the potential, who is responsible. Unai will have tbose he trusts presumably, but I wonder how much arises from his own obsessive match watching, how much he relies on his Peter Taylors..,
Still weird having a well run football team.

It's well documented that it was part of Emery's preparation for the Middlesbrough cup game that caught his attention. I imagine the guys that put the videos together for him make reels on individuals in the opposition team and it was watching his when Emery liked what he saw.

Although he was first linked with us as a swap option as part of the Grealish deal so he's been on the radar of the recruitment department for some time, probably going back to when he was a youth player at Albion.

Legend has it that he spotted him while doing his obsessive scouting of Boro in readiness for the cup game.

What’s funny is when we signed him most of us didn’t know much about him and having watched the cup game wondered what the hell the fuss was about. Especially as Boro held out for the price they did. Shows how much we know. I’m pretty sure prior to Unai any of us could scout as well as those employed to do so. Especially during the golden era of Rudi Gestede, Simon Dawkins and Alex Tonev. Now it’s very different. The level of detail Emery is known for extends to his team and through Monchi. I love what we are doing and how we are doing it now.

I assume Mark Harrison would have played a part in the signing as he would have known Morgan when he was at the Baggies.
