We weren’t talking about what was likely just that there are some really good players in the championship this season.
As for hype let’s lay a few things out, he played in a relegation team for 11 goal involvements whilst his minutes on the pitch were the equivalent of 22 games.
The season before he got 15 goal involvements in Ligue 1 in the equivalent of 31 games.
In the same season in the Europa League he got 7 goal involvements in the equivalent of 8 games.
That is the mans output, without talking about his obvious abilities or the fact he is 22 and can play anywhere on the front line.
If we were a year ahead of where we are now and I were buying players to improve this team/squad he would be right at the top of the list.
Sarr, Barkley on a permanent, Sangare on a free (out of contract next summer), Aarons, Tuanzebe and Wijndal.
Kalinic, Elmo, Taylor, Lansbury, El Ghazi, Samatta out the door.
At that point I would consider us to have a full squad and expect to be competing for European places in the league.
