I really like this fella. Seems intelligent and genuine.

Forget he’s only 23, so stacks of room for improvement for a player in his position. Interesting he’s already matched the 4 goals he scored in his Everton career this season, in 19 games for versus 72 for Everton.

Very hopeful he’ll be a top player for us for many years and the £50m price will look like money well spent.
He is incredibly intelligent. Certainly a young man with his head screwed on.

Top man

I also like that each time he has been injured he still attends all games and can be seen in the dug out pre match speaking with fans and other players

He strikes me as captain material. Which we're not short of these days thankfully.

I was somewhat derided by one or two posts on this forum back in the Autumn when I stated the £50m we spent on him was a tad too high. Far from wishing to prove a point , his ability to last, never mind fully contribute to a full 90 minutes in its entirety is in my eyes still open to scrutiny.

This was my worry when we signed him. He has had injury issues at everton. For 50m he seems to spend a lot of time on the treatment table - unlike luiz

“For 50m”?
Would costing less money make him less prone to injuries then?

He does seem to be picking up a remarkable number of small niggles which means he hasn’t yet had a run of games to get up to full flow as yet. Hopefully, this one is minor and we can see him back in action shortly.

He seemed happy enough in the post-match celebrations, so maybe it isn't a bad one. Glad that Bogarde did so well in his place.

Can’t quite grasp the pertinence of that remark. Putting that to one side , my concern is that even when he plays the odd full 90 mins he only plays in fits and starts. Would love him to be the type of player that takes the game by the scruff of its neck from the off and duly dictate proceedings. Based on what I’ve seen , I don’t think he’s got that him in.

I’m losing patience with him. It’s all fine and dandy giving it the big one at the end of games I’d much prefer it that he put a proper shift in during games. For a big bloke he doesn’t half go down easy and usually stays down with an injury of varying magnitude from an actual minor injury to fuck all wrong with him.
