His best game so far without being anything special. He’s clearly not up to speed in terms of fitness or strength yet, you’d think a 6ft 2” 24 year old with his physique should be blowing away inferior defenders, he seems weak so far. In fairness to him, he kept at it.

Very erratic at the mo but you can see there's a player in there. I reckon he'll be a Juan Pablo, take a bit of time to settle and once he's  up and running, he'll be shit hot. Needs a bit of patience, especially as we move through this dodgy period.

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.

Think he'd probably be better coming on for short bursts at this stage while he finds his feet.

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.

This is pretty much where I am with Guessand. He reminds me a little of Zaniolo - big, strong, reasonably skilful but not making an impact. However I recall being unimpressed with Rogers at first and he came on massively so am hopng Guessand can do the same.

An obvious point but it hsows the value of getting transfer business done early to allow players to settle in, find a home, get up to speed, learn systems and formations and improve their language skills. And get used to English food.

Exactly this. A lot has been made about us having a poor summer transfer window and it leading directly into our poor start but I reckon all the same in and out but all done by early July we'd have seen things play out very differently.
