He is a nothing player. There is absolutely no end product from the guy. Disgustingly poor business. We were after Dybala and Bruno and settled for Gedson. Well done. He is in the N'jie and N'Kouduo mould. Strange piece of business. If it isn't just plain old incompetence it has to be a sort of corruption deal. Some under the table shit going on.

Not sure why he’s playing LW, but he’s not good enough imo. Not sure what he adds other than some energy. Ok squad player for a loan but don’t want us to buy him.
 
I think Benfica have played a blinder here.

They loan him to us in a longer than usual loan for a few million.

We develop him in a higher quality league for 18 months.

After the 18 months, we either buy him for a crazy amount of money or they get a player developed in a better league back, with the hunger to prove himself to get that big move.

Well done Benfica!
 
Why are people surprised?

Couldn't get a game for benfica and they were more than happy to loan him to us for 2 years

Doesnt exactly scream top quality does it

There may be a player in there but he has a lot of work ahead of him

Another example of getting a body in because it wasn't gonna cost much without actually thinking about whether he would contribute and help us win football matches in the present

But that whole attitude is why we are in the position we find ourselves in right now
 
Honestly I think it was as simple as Mourinho needing somebody to replace Bergwijn as our counter attack threat on the wing and Gedson is quicker than Skipp/NDombele. Not sure he is a very effective wide forward/winger but I can see the reasoning, sort of.

Think it would have been better to bring Skipp into midfield and push Sissoko forward as RW and tell him to just run or bring Sessegnon on for his speed.

IMO bringing Gedson on didn't really solve any problems, unless Jose thought he could be a winger when in possession and a CM when out of possession, but Gedson didn't seem to play either of those roles effectively.

Not many players available in January - we bought Bergwijn who IMO is a good attacking option, and we were never going to buy Bruno Fernandes to fill a CM position after buying Ndombele and Lo Celso in the summer, no other quality cm's available and Southampton were not going to sell Hojbjerg to us despite the rumours in the summer.

So went for a loan to get a body in, expecting to bring a permanant cm in the summer (pre covid).

100%

Another bargain bin special and waste of wages and agents fees
 
He was a desperation signing. Hence why it was on loan. Don't think they really wanted him but we needed a midfielder at the time.

Does anyone even know what his best position is? I know it's not LM, the guy never uses his left foot. I thought when he came on he would sit in front of Winks and Sissoko and just prevent Pogba and Bruno from getting the ball in the middle.
He ended up playing much higher up then got farmed out to the left. Tried to cut inside on his right foot but AWB had too much athleticism for him, so kept having to play it back.
 
Shouldn't we cancel this loan and get a player who will actually be able to start games for us instead?

Is he related to Jose? Why is he here? What role can he play for us going into next season?
