villarule123 Posted February 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2021 £17m looking like a bargain now. What a summer window. For £55m more, you could have got Pepe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted February 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) He's the second most talented player in the squad , brave , tricky , work rate and covering is getting better game by game.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I reckon is confidence was shot at Lyon. Was probably chucked into numerous positions as well. Once he realises he has faith here and feels loved I think he will push on even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dominated so much in the 00s and attracted so many glory hunters that their fanbase is basically a French version of the United fanbase. So spoilt and dramatic, even make some of ours look levelheaded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouUnastanFren Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Imagine being a professional coach and watching him play and deciding he was best suited to play wing back. Other than Barkley he's probably the player least suited to play wing back in our entire squad, including Martinez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I love these kinds of players who create magic out of nothing. He’s the first name I look for when the team sheet is announced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I can already see him working back to help out in defence more and more which is really encouraging. Seems a great lad with skill in abundance. Another 'uninspiring' signing that again proves just how far we fell - he has improved our team immensely whilst looking average at Lyon.

Skruff Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 So much flair, he takes some touches that even Jack can't do. Great at winning and holding up the ball and beating presses as well. Fast becoming a very important player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I think he's the one player other than Jack that can go from nonchalant to explosive and just rip opponents apart. Real pleasure watching him get better. Very special talent if we look after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
