B*llocks to loaning him out. This kid is ready NOW. He was great tonight and in my opinion will replace Barry and De Jong this season, or latest, next.
He covers and breaks up play well, links with the attack quickly, makes simple passes but has great vision and makes longer, telling passes too. And as others have said looks unhurried and comfortable on the ball. Great Cover for Yaya and sometimes when we want to 'release the beast' upfield.
I also thought Kolo looks strong so we don't urgently need CB cover.
We DO need that game changer/winger. IMO, no signings other than Nir Biton and Lucas Moura!
