Just caught the highlights. The size of him. An absolute beast. This fucking playing eligibility needs to be sorted ASAP so he can contribute or we have some flexibiiity to get him out on loan. But what a frightening prospect.

What's his game like? Can he thundercvnt it like Durán?

From what I could see, he just stares at defenders and they run away

He must be a strange one for the strength and conditioning coaches, especially if he’s not playing regularly until January.

Young Brian doesn’t look like he needs too much time on the weights as you don’t want him much bigger, reminded me of Lukaku when I saw him, who looks a similar shape to him.

He stares at the ball and it runs away.

Blimey, he's a unit, isn't he? And only 17 and a half? He's probably got some growing to do yet, as well.  Any reports on how he played, any sign of particular attributes or weaknesses?  Is it too much to ask for the speed of Owen, the ball control of Bale and the finishing of Kane?

He played on the shoulder of their right sided centre half quite a bit, ala Alan Shearer (if we want to add another legend for him to live up to) and his 1st goal came when he bullied/scared their centre half to the floor.

There were a couple of times he could have attacked the near post as crosses came in, something Brian Little mentioned in comms, and it was Leon Bailey firing the crosses in so I’d imagine if you play with him for a while waiting at the back post for a Bailey cross might not be the best place.

This is one seriously sized fella, lets see him develop over this season and scare the hell out of defenders.

Their centre half grabbed him to pull him back. He ended up on the floor because Madjo just kept on going so the defender just got pulled over.
