Leroy was mustard right from the start. I know, I know, there were matches where he had so little impact you'd forget he was there. But other matches where he lit up the stadium! Still love him for that last-minute goal against Liverpool which sealed their one defeat of the season. And, in effect, was one of the key goals that gave us the title.
I know — I need to let it go. I have done, but there's still the memories.
I know nothing whatsoever about this lad. But if he's two-thirds of the player that Leroy was at his best, I'm right behind him. There's nothing more exciting in football than having a genuinely fast winger who can go outside his man.

I’m not sure Leroy was mustard from the very start, I seem to remember us playing him on the right wing. It was only when he shifted to the left hand side, that we started to see the best out of him

Buzzing over this signing. Electric feet!

 

[johnny crossan]

has he docked yet?

 

[youngbob]

Excited to have some speed back, so long as pep doesnt shackle him and turn him into a grealish clone

Pretty sure Grealish didn't mind being "shackled" when he won the treble two months ago.

Let's hope we let him keep some of his dribbling abilities.

Worried about this also.

Who was the prior last 11?

Zinchenko

Been saying this from jump. His suddenness is akin to that of an NFL running back. Explosive as fuck.

Discuss the point that he doesnt take on his man but passes back or sideways and stop being snidey , hope this kid doesnt end up doing the same too often, pace is exciting and we can break much easier

Zinchenko

Ah! My boy. I'm ashamed. Forgot him so soon :(

 

[bluedave1894]

I must be missing something but the clips I have seen of him have him operating on the left wing where Grealish plays, I thought we wanted someone to replace Mahrez on the right?

Can play right, left or Huckerby mode, i.e. rudderless motor boat.

Great point, I think he'll run at full back's no matter what though. Maybe Jack just can't do that, so looks for the easy pass sideways or backwards

Genuine lol - thanks I needed a laugh today

 

[BringBackSwales]

Easy jet?? Fecking cheapskates. Peter Swales would be proud.

Oi!! It gets him there in 6 minutes, how fucking fast do you want?

 

[kaz7]

What?

Not taking on his man and driving into the box but passing back and sideways , i assume that is what pep wants but be a shame to shackle this speedster

You know you’ve said something daft when you get a like off FordyBoy

 

[bluemoon32]

Send him and Grealish to finishing school, neither score many goals.

I don’t seem to recall Pep shackling either Raheem or Leroy, but I do recall him help develop them both into magnificent players. As for Jack he was never a speedster but Pep has in my view developed him into a much better all round player.
