... we hope. Now that I see him week in week out I realize he has no first touch, has no strength, isn't all that fast, isn't all that tricky, isn't very intelligent with or without the ball and his timing is off 90% of the time (why he can't get a break in a 50/50 challenge). All that said if he trains and studies hard he could be useful. Personally I wish we'd not signed him but that's neither here nor there now.

Id say that's overly critical. It's not as if he's turning in Jo-esque performances.

And they say modern day football supporters' expectations are far too high...... we hope.

Do you expect anyone to agree with any of this?... we hope.

When we have him, Silva & DeBruyne all playing together & fully fit, you will see how good he is.
I bet there are some out there who agree but are too shy to yet admit it.Do you expect anyone to agree with any of this?
"No Mr. Bond, I expect you to bite!"
Anyway I hope he becomes good too. Just surprised to see precious little sign of the basic raw materials.
