He’s genuinely perfect for us. Wanted him when he left Madrid and at Chelsea he always stood out to me even though Kante tended to get all the hype and credit. I still don’t see him as a Gundo replacement because I don’t feel he’ll ever be a real goal scoring threat from midfield, but that burst of acceleration he has to break the lines will be crazy useful to us when teams pack 11 behind the ball. At 20 odd million he may turn out to be the best value for money signing we see in the prem this season
 
Excellent player and not surprised he’s settled in so well. Lovely to watch on the ball and the way him and Rodri maintain control in the midfield
 
Only an exquisite performance from our wonder boy prevented this fella from receiving the MOTM award,

If anyone was previously in any doubt who Pep had targeted as our Gundo replacement,i suspect the penny may now have dropped.

It was a brilliant display,similar to the ones he performs for his National side rather than the majority we saw when being limited in a Chelsea shirt.
 
Brilliant performance by Kova. One thing I really liked was his fearlessness on the ball. Several times he took players on...went past them and broke their lines...so great to see.
 
He's been good every game he's played for us so far. He's slotted straight into the team, with no bedding in period needed. Tonight I thought he was excellent.
 
Exceptional outing from him. His ability to drop a shoulder and power past two players in midfield is an incredible asset. And he knows how to pass between the lines.

He and Phil seem to have a natural reporte, as well, which is very encouraging.
 
I suspected the deeper role is better for him that way he can be more involved in the build up and do those passes to the forwards.

I suspect we might see Bernardo rotate here as well as they have very similar profile for control.
