Yeah he does seem a little raw that's why he needs a good coach asap maybe he hasn't handled the move that well either he's a young lad. I'm sure our club would have tried to make sure he was well looked after but we could have done a better job of it ourselves than trusting that to Deportivo, maybe even keep him till Jan since it's his first move to Europe coach him and make sure he's prepared on and off the pitch before loaning him out. It depends really, sure he needs the game time but training with our squad and being guided by Pep for several months wouldn't have done him that much harm for me and we aren't using Navas so even from our own perspective it might have been better to hold onto him, he could have surprised us in the cup games and forced Pep to give him more game time.I'm not passing final judgement on him, just saying he needs to show considerably more than he has done. You might have a point with the coached by Guardiola thing tbf, my biggest problem with him is his in game decision making, he's far too happy running down blind alleys when there's a pass on or trying to play balls that won't be successful more than one time in a million. There's definitely something there in pace and technique, just a complete and abject lack of end product.
Anyway back on topic. It would be nice but I don't see us signing Mbappé this summer.
