As I said, it was just out of curiosity... I know a large majority of Belgium speak English at some level.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't speak English to a certain level mate

Won't slate you, but are you his dad? Nothing I've seen to say he's better than Palmer...just alot quicker!

Pace is a major, major attribute. Especially when it’s combined with skill and the ability to get past players. Not something to be sniffed at as ‘just quicker’ IMO

Wonder if he’ll bring his wife Sue, she’s a bit of a puzzle !

Going to great in this set up, a lot of the time we couldn't get up the field and counter attack as we don't have the pace.

We don't counter-attack because that's not the way Pep wants us to play (or he hasn't done). Grealish (for e.g.) was electric in counter-attacking Villa but hasn't been allowed to play that way by Pep. Entirely possible of course that Pep wants to adjust the way we play again and will allow Doku to play that way. It'll certainly make all the pace merchants happy if he does

According to wiki , he’s known as ‘The Belgian Flash’ !!?! …

Walker is known as the English flash!

I’m just happy we have some pace now alongside the Viking, adds a new dimension to the attack.

Any idea if he speaks English out of curiosity?

Only people in the French part of Belgium might have slight problems with English, because they have the same problem the Spanish, Italians en French have, they dub their English movies and programs on tv. But Jay is from Antwerp. Here we get subtitles, and speak English when we are like 10 years old. ;)

Doku is a real exciting signing guys. 1 of the biggest talents ever made in 1 of the best academy's in the world.
Incredible pace, but also great skills. His only weak spot? Injuries. By his style of play, his body gets a hard time. At Rennes he really had too much injuries. But with the City roster, he might me the perfect player to give 45 minutes, or use as the perfect super sub to force a victory.

Also very cool Doku got his professional breakthrough under City legend Vincent Kompany!
