I hear what you’re saying, but there’s a reason they call it match fitness and he was riding the bench at Atletico for most of the season so hasn’t had many minutes.
Early days, but I expected more of an impact. Showing slightly more energy than his teammates, but that’s not tough. Need him to step it up.
Thought he was a decent buy at first! But he’s made the team worse somehow. Wonder if a season or 2 in la liga has slowed him down and killed his intensity. Looks way off it
So far he's been exactly as I expected - I watched him at Athletico...
He has not grabbed a hold of the game here the way he did all the time at Palace and Chelsea. Not sure what the deal is.
He's been even worse than most expected and expectations were low.
We haven't even seen him being physically dominant yet and thats his one ability.

He does create good situations with pressing but needs the whole team to be a pressing unit to make the most of that.
the midfield balance was wrong today, pal and gallagher are more dog type midfielders, bissouma is fairly similar but has a little bit about him on the ball, none of them are going to produce real quality on the ball or set the rhythm and really dictate the play....them players are massive in football and we dont have one.
with one, all of them will look a lot better as it will balance out.
How could he not be match fit? He trained, not like he didn't get a sniff either.
He's just fucking shite.
He was also bloody great for Charlton too BUT it's because he's not that player anymore - I employ you to watch a handful of his games for Atletico Madrid - pretty much the same shit we're getting now...
Posted this when we were first linked to him
Tried to talk myself into it in the vain hope he'd provide leadership and goalthreat but alas, no, turns out that randos on TFC really do know better than the clowns that actually get paid shitloads to do the recruitment and sign off 200k p/w deals.
Really should've just got Hayden Hackney or anyone that can actually pass a bloody football. Would be on 1/3 of the wages too.
He has not had much impact here so far. I think it is fair to say that.
But is anyone surprised in it? I mean we are a team that has played without midfield, just hoofing the ball upfield from defence from round 1 of the season.
We DESPERATELY needed a deep-lying playmaker. A CM who is COMFORTABLE IN POSSESSION and whose biggest strength would be LONG AND SHORT PASSING. And ... instead... we got like 5th #8 who likes to run and press.
Unfair to just shit on him. As with 90+% of things full blame has to be pointed to sporting staff and boardroom. Once again they fully ignored the REAL need and just took available and opportunistic punt that does nothing to help the team balance. Just another prime example how to destroy value with poor planning and incompetent leadership.

Honestly, I think he would do very well under Poch
I agree. I maintain he can come good. Very good. Been shite so far though, yes
I don't even think he would be. He'd get bullied down thereHe'll look good in the championship TBF.
