how do you know? he is still very young. Maybe he can be a very good surprise in the future

He doesn’t look like the sort who will. But yes he could do so.

Players take different lengths of time to mature or come into there own, Palmer for example did ok at man city then came here and blew us away this season, circumstances can turn a players career just like that. And another thing is what your comparing world class too? Modric? Kante? Rodri? Bellingham? How far back do we go to compare other players to? I am genuinely interested in that question because imo the level of player has dropped significantly over the years, to be a good football these days you need to be an athlete first and foremost, most of the skill has completely left the game imo

For every KDB and Salah you have thousands of youth players who don't make it, at last not at this level.

This is the hard part, but it's totally plausible he simply is not impressing anyone.

He has been the MOTM twice since joining in January.

Excellent if perhaps now we have a potential buyer in league 1.

Will spend important part of pre-season with us but regardless of how he does he's already not going to be involved with us this year.

On one hand he'll go back to somewhere he knows,but with a different coach.

Be good if we could use the we'll loan you either a) or b) player and let you know by a certain date..

with CG in his contract year,Enzo being branded grand wizard of the white linen coneheads,there's room for Santos i'd say,atleast in the european piss pot competition.

There's also that guy we signed from Leicester as well as Lavia being available this season and Carney would likely be in the mix as well assuming he's fit.

Both KDH and Carney likely to play in more advanced roles. We need 6 CM's of varied types atleast and with Lavia only playing briefly in 1 game last season and the Enzo situation.then there's Conor who needs to either extend soon or be sold.

He scored for Strasbourg.

Think this guy is a top top player. Bonus points for looking like the prince of persia.

crazy that people can watch a club for decade, decades, see a player, call them shit, bizarrely, and over and over wrongly disparage the wrong players. No talent ID lol. I guess every club is like 99% clueless fans no joke. The things said about him. Not on here since I just joined

I have said from the start that he will be a good to great player for us

was (and remain) really excited that we bought him

it is why I do not go wild with CMF targeting (and I also think that Carney can do anything that the likely waste of £30m plus KDH can)

 

many, many of my historical CMF targets (that we passed on or failed in a buy attempt) have turned out pretty well

 

here are a few examples

    
Federico Valverde 
Eduardo Camavinga
Nicolò Barella 
Warren Zaïre-Emery  
Vitinha 
Ryan Gravenberch   (I expect a big year for him)
