Likely lot of these type of players we’ve looked at but been unable to afford them till now.welcome Merlin weren't the redshites after him last season.
Hopefully missing out on good young players is thing of the past

Like aznouThink he’s gonna take time to settle …. He’ll have spells in games but we must be patient
“They all count, right boss?”And he's not fussy about which end.
Well...???Love ESPN+
About to watch the second half of the Freiburg vs Koln game where he played the whole second half
He’s 23 and played over 100 first team games. He needs to be ready to perform if called on or he shouldn’t have been signed. That’s not to say he can’t get better too.From what I could see in the highlights reel.
1. He is strong, there were so many instances, where he just brushed off the opposing player, as if swatting flies.
2. He is a little awkward at times, as if doen't know what to with his body, his feet.
3. He is tenacious, a bulldog.
4. He is great at breakup opposition play.
5. He is still raw. Probably at the right place for future growth.
My understanding after looking at him for all of five minutes...
He is probably not ready yet, but if he comes through unscathed through the growing up journey, he will be massive, figuratively and literally. I reckon, we are looking at him as a long-term replacement for Gana, maybe!!!
Or the dreaded 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 amoebaWatched a highlight reel and he looks so strong with a good shot on him. Looking forward to seeing him play. Looks like we’ll be going with a goalie, 9 midfield players and a striker this year. The old 1-9-1 formation.![]()
I get that and agree. My point of him being raw is based on the assumption (and I will freely admit I have no idea at all) that he has been brought in to replace Gana in the long term. He needs to grow into that role.He’s 23 and played over 100 first team games. He needs to be ready to perform if called on or he shouldn’t have been signed. That’s not to say he can’t get better too.
Seemed to come in as a RW. Thought he was tidy and kept play ticking. Doesn't strike me as a RW at all though. Makes sense as he said he envision himself as a box to box midfielder. Freiburg collapsed around him in that second half so probably not a great game to judge him onWell...???
