Grafter, getting there

I thought he was poor. He did his defensive duties though.

I didn’t think he was poor but maybe like you I’m not convinced he will be a more than just alright
same for Malen, same for Bogarde

Sorry I wish I could be more positive but I’m just not seeing it right now

[Villafirst]

I think he's starting to adapt to the Premier League which is very unforgiving. Plus having to get used to Emery's style and tactics - Harvey Elliot is still adapting and not a regular starter yet.

Honestly think he has done fine so far other than the Palace game.

He is getting better but hasn't got stamina but a player in the making I think.

I appreciated his work rate, but he’s a step down from Bailey (based on what I’ve seen so far). TBF we’ve had a fair few players playing below their standard this season, so there’s hope.

[VILLA MOLE]

I still think he will be more useful centrally but whether we will see that ?

[Ian.]

The problem is, when Bailey was playing at his highest level, I don’t think there was a better winger in the world at that time. He was incredible for just over half the season. To find a player as good as he was at that point in time would be extremely hard.

He cost half a Diaby, and at first glance, has impressed me half as much as Diaby did. Hoping he goes on to be a full Diaby at half price.

[Percy McCarthy]

Early days yet. I think you can see that his main problem at the moment is getting used to the speed of thought needed, and the physicality.

[darren woolley]

He starting to look better with each game he plays.

[Cropley10]

I have no idea if he is striker, a winger, a double -up  up RB or what, but we got a our pants proper pulled down for £30m

[Ian.]

I thought second half he played much better and was a good outlet, he worked hard and done a decent job for us.

I agree, he looked completely out of his depth.
At least on Sunday he got stuck in and helped out Cash. He looks a very poor buy.

I think right now he's trying to do exactly what he's being asked by Emery. A few times you could see he looked up almost as if counting players and then realised we were a bit light to counter so turned back and recycled the ball.

He's clearly drifting inside to give us a 2nd target and, when he gets it out wide there seems to be a clear instruction to only put it into the box if we have options or he has no other choice.

For me it looks like he's playing on strings, and I don't mean that in a bad way, I reckon Emery probably fucking loves the guy right now, even though he clearly needs to add more end product to his game.

I think it'll come and he'll end up being a good buy.

I'm trying to look for positives and the best I can come up with is...Park Ji-Sung.
