The lad can play but I don’t want him. Although he walks into our first team.

He’s a bringer of chaos and sometimes that is really good…. He looks like he’s going to mess something up and then before you know it he’s beaten 3 players and made 40 yards….he can finish when he’s in the mood… he’s quick and skilful…some days he’s world class.

Other days he’s just a shit Dembele.

And I never feel in the big games that he’s going to make a difference.

Maybe I can’t get over the pain of that save by Martinez.

Yeah I agree with that
 
I know he's not perfect, and he's not a prolific finisher, but as a guy who can legitimately play LF/RF/CF has pace and technique, scores and creates some, and works reasonably hard off the ball - he would be a very good punt on a loan/buy - a massive, and I mean fucking massive upgrade on Johnson as a RF and also a viable upgrade/successor to Son, whilst also being able to play through the middle.
Agree- would be a definite upgrade for us. Amazing if it were true.
 
I know you watch the French league a lot so trust your word. He does look a bit of a bully type player from his highlights, someone who will use speed and power in the wide channels which would be very useful but that is if it translates to the prem.

As I said, I know he's not perfect, but for the right forward remit, with ability to play CF too, which is what I think we are primarily buying him as, he will be a big upgrade on Johnson. And as a try before you buy January deal, we can't really do much better in January could we?
 
He would instantly make us a bit nastier up front.

Our attack is currently utter shit. We have one useful forward Solanke. Son was great but he isn’t the player he was, he has lost his explosiveness and I don’t think he can now play as a winger certainly not a touchline one, he needs to be a second striker but we don’t play that way. I don’t need to comment on the others.

For a team that plays attacking football to have a barely mid table attack is pathetic. Even Ipswich with Delap and Hutchinson have a more dynamic looking forward line than us. We don’t even need that much to upgrade our attack just someone mildly dynamic.
