308 days out with knee issues in the last 4yrs, a further 193 days missed in the same period for other injury and fitness-related issues.

When he's not injured he's a very, very good wide player, lightning quick which makes him a real handful for defenders, times his runs very well and comes off the wing into oppo box arriving with pace. Also without the ball holds his position well (wide) stretching oppo back-line, with Ange's inverted FB's there are possibilities to link with FB's and 8's in their triangles that we've seen so far (Barca don't really set up like this so just supposition) but Barca do thread balls to him behind oppo defence from Central positions, so Madders could be key in finding him this way. But what he offers that we don't have is 1v1 attacking from wide players (Son and Kulu aren't great at this - Both Son & Kulu like to come inside with the ball - I think Ange is looking for wide player that goes 1v1 on the outside???)

He’s not a 1-1 specialist or real pace merchant. He’s averaging 1.1 take ons per match since the inuries, and it was 1.6 before. The likes of Grealish or Doku are closer to 4 per match.

He’s a technician. Clean with his ball manipulation and striking. He’ll be the most clinical finisher at the club if he joins. Don’t expect him to be flying past fullbacks, though.

He's not a great dribbler though.
