Two things.

He is already an Everton player. chelsea will sell him to us, and probably connected in some way to the lukaku deal. But yeah i expect him to be confirmed as an everton player next summer.

He is a 21 year old african lad with no prior experience to english football. He might not be playing that well but he needs to bloody play and he isnt even getting that with us regulary. how can you expect somoeone who has never played english football and is still very young to adapt within a few sub appearances?

Kagawa / Forlan / Veron/ Jon Daal Tomassan off the top of my head. All players who were really good outside of england but didnt play that well here.

Unless he improves dramatically there's no way we'll sign him permanently. What would be the point in signing a player who looks miles away from starting?
 

He needs to stop thinking he is good and go back to basics and prove to others that he is good.... get the ball and run like stink past the full-back.
 

Are we deducing this from the two or three games we've seen him in?

I have seen him stand still when the ball comes to him, draw 2-3 oppo players towards him and then try to skip past them all from a standing start in zero space, which surprisingly he doesn't manage.

I have also seen some promise and I hope we given him plenty of opportunity.

I like the way you suggest he should be given a chance and then compare him to four players who were all given a decent-ish chance and proved to be flops. Cleverley subversive anti-vaulting technique there, just like my ambiguous use of 'Cleverley' and 'flop' in this message.

Point is Veron was a top midfielder in Italy, Tomassan played for a succesful AC milan team for years, Kagawa one of the best in Germany and Forlan scored loads in spain. All couldnt adjust to England but none the less they were still good/fantastic players in their own right. Atsu was highly regarded in portugal so it may apply to him or he could be a decent winger in this country.
