Very much so. Did lots of things quite well but none brilliantly.
Going to go further in his punditry and my tip as the next Match of The Day presenter.

Small sample of matches but promising he's risen to the challenge of playing against his biggest teams of his career so far
That goal is exactly why we want to sign him. Aggression going forward and running with purpose.
This boy seems like he's got a bit about him, attitude wise. That's great, hopefully we won't sign anymore Sessegnon types who seem scared to play.
Perisic and Spence gives us a lot more drive and aggression in the wide areas, complete opposite to Sessegnon and Emerson.
Hopefully if he does replace jug ears he’ll stick to football and not woke politicsVery much so. Did lots of things quite well but none brilliantly.

Ian woan and Steve stone were both part of dyches backroom staff for yearsAndy Reid was wank but very occasionally that left foot of his would do something special. Always thought we should have bought Ian Woan from
forest in the 90s.
Only seen him a few times but his strengths seemed to be carrying the ball and attacking, the opposite of Royal imo.What qualities are people seeing that make us think he’ll be the ideal wing back under Conte? I haven’t watched him a bunch but he doesn’t appear that technically gifted. He’s athletic but I’m not seeing supremely fast. He really looks a lot like Royal. So if we swap him for Royal I’m pretty sure we’ve atleast gotten worse in the short term. Royal has his limitations but he got better as the year progressed and showed he can play against the big boys while Spence was playing in the championship. In Conte and Paratici I trust but I hope this is more of one for the future. Or maybe this is all about the homegrown.
All true but i think meaningless-friendly is right. At their age i used to play like sessegnon, i was good but got bullied too much by better players, then one day something suddenly clicked and my attitude changed. I can only really describe it as “fuck you, the ball is MINE!” and i was then a much better player. Spence already has that dominance.Sessegnon is fine and last season was his best for us by a big margin.
Being able to be part of a team that took us into the CL should also add to his confidence levels.
Players like people possess different attributes, and as long as they are contributing in a fashion that gives us the requisite balance, I am all for it.

Kyle Walker don't work as a metric against other players. He is basically Usain Bolt who can play a bit. I remember a very long time ago fifteen years listening to a Bristish Olympic coach they asked who was the fittest person he had ever worked with. He said unequivocally it's not a sprinter it's Kyle Walker the soccer player. He is the strongest fittest person we have ever tested. His recovery and stamina are unmatched in any sport. As you can imagine it stuck with me as it was so unexpected.Walker had generational speed/strength. Positioning didn’t matter because he could recover against anybody.
Spence is probably more developed offensively but won’t ever have Walker pace.
