Anybody seen this kid play? I keep hearing over here that he's the "next big thing."

Yea I watch every game, today he was more left center mid playing more like Pogba than a Jorginho.

We're too late lads and lasses, the rags have him on their radar :)

"Think we might look at him as alternative to Neves, if former proves to be too pricey or other club snatches him."

And

"Wouldnt mind overpaying for him and De Ligt. Top talents, but i doubt we will get either of them. Every top club will be in for him come the summer"

Think the raggie poster has answered his own question about would they get him

Doesn't surprise me,the lad is quality with a versatility to shine in many positions.

Clever. Pogba would do well in our set up as well.

There it is :)

Is he reliable ?

Replacing Fernandinho is so hard. He has great passing and shooting ability, as well as a physical presence in the midfield/defense. Frenkie De Jong doesn't look too strong to me. Would he really be the right fit for us? I don't doubt his passing/dribbling qualities and holding the ball, but perhaps we should be looking for a stronger defensive mid who can cope with a few tackles. This kid would stand zero chance against Lukaku, Salah or Kane.

Fernandinho is 125th in the tackles stas for the premier league with 9. Our highest is Bernardo with 12 and he's 83 rd. Tackling isn't something we really do it's certainly not top priority.
