I can understand some of the reservations some have but others have written him off already. Baffling but not surprising.

Usually you'll get some inconsistencies with new signings but you see something that will excite you, but I'm having difficulty seeing it with this lad and I'm not alone.

Having said that, if you're not playing well you put yourself about a bit and he's at least doing that.

[Drummond]

He is, and he had a good attempt at goal that was well saved. He also beat his man and put a lovely ball across goal that was defended really well and that Watkins, on form would have got on the end of.

Not seen anywhere near enough to convince me. Not an upgrade on Bailey so far, but let’s see, early days.

What does £20m-£30m get you these days though?  I think he is okay but as far as it goes. I think he has had his best two games on Sunday and last night.

[Brazilian Villain]

What does £20m-£30m get you these days though?

1/4 Antony.

A Chukwuemeka and his brother.

One and a half Kellymans.

Yes I think we can discount the Manchester United Transfer School for the Permanently Insane.

[Max Villan]

I think he looks promising, and will start showing his quality a bit more soon hopefully. There's definitely some good attributes for Unai to work on, and I'd say he agrees considering he's starting him every week.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

All the comments from those that had seen a lot of him in France were very excited about the signing but were very realistic in that he's still work in progress. He's going to need time to both adapt and improve. Looking at him you immediately think he's ready or at least should be. Sadly that's not the case but if we're patient and supportive his ceiling is very high and could be a great investment.

Yep, I put him forward as a player I'd like us to go for before we were even linked but my thinking was for him to be a squad option covering for Watkins and the new winger I expected to see (so Sancho as it turns out). I think we're seeing him start more than expected because he's shown he'll put the work in and be part of the press (which was very good in the first half last night) and Emery clearly doesn't think Sancho is ready to start yet.

[LukeJames]

Have you noticed how many markers he has when he gets the ball? 2 or 3 most times.

Every fucking time, Ive said it after every game so far. We never get the ball to any of our attacking players quickly enough when the opposition are out of shape. The one chap that tried to get the ball behind quickly then gets bollocked and dropped.

[Proposition Joe]

Don't really understand the comments. He played well first half. He seems very physical, which should bode well. Second half we didn't progress the ball down the right very much and he drifted out of it.

I agree. I thought he was fine yesterday, especially given the levels the entire team has been playing at this season.

[PaulWinch again]

I think he did ok.

[stubbsyandy]

I think he is doing ok, especially bearing in mind we are misfiring. One big improvement over Leon is his tracking back.

Yes, and another improvement over Leon is his physical strength.
