Yes
Maybe not dropped a clanger but he has to be better for us than Nunes, Kovacic and Philipps.

Agree. Lacks the pace that would make him top draw. Good player though and will have a good career.He's found his level. A stand-out player in a mid-table side.

I don’t really understand the pace argument. Pace isn’t why he stands out - it’s his technical ability. I would say he’s just as fast as someone like Mahrez as well. You don’t need pace to be a great winger. He’s playing more in the middle as well

He would have allowed Bernardo to play in the centre, while still giving us an attacking threat.Palmer would have made zero difference to the Villa game.

Well he’s not exactly dragging Chelsea to the top of the league.

No, he flitted in and out of games and didn't want to stay around to learn under the best coach in the world.

I like the lad as a player but for me didn't show enough for us to knock back 45 million. If you think we got Doku for not that much more then we did excellent business.

Not essential but it helps if you’re a dribbler. Mahrez also had a much better right foot so had the option to go the other way the odd time.I don’t really understand the pace argument.
