Being compared to Sterling, Ageuro, etc. Relax! Stop the unreasonableness. Let the lad actually turn out for us, get a few games under his belt. Christ..we don't help our players settle much, do we!
And Alli and moura are now 'deadwood'!!!
Jesus Christ. One has only recently singlehandedly got a hattrick in a CL semi to get us to the final and the other has been one of our best players in recent years and has been scoring and assisting recently in a team that is struggling.
Some would drop them in a heartbeat for players who havent played for1 minute in the EPL yet.
Got to laugh.

Really excited by this lad. I love pace in our team, it strikes fear into the hearts of opposition defenders and can rip them to shreds. It also gives the technical players like Lo Celso added space and options to pass. Win - win!

Exactly. These idiots only seem to live for new signings with no consideration for how they will settle. The fact Lo Celso, NDombele and Sessegnon have all and are still taking time to settle, but people still expect this guy to come in and start tearing it up like Sterling just proves how idiotic some of you are.

It is interesting watching our transition from Poch A to Poch B to Mourinho. With Poch A we were awesome. We pressed high and aggressively, which meant we didn’t need the quickest front 4 (in a 4-2-3-1 we had Dele, Eriksen, Lamela or Son and Kane, backed up by Dembele and Wanyama). Then in Poch B our defence dropped deeper (as Toby and Verts lost pace) and our CM became less dominant and proactively aggressive (Sissoko and Winks not the same as a fit Wanyama and Dembele). Suddenly our front 4 were not as effective as their lack of pace became more evident. Coupled with the squad going stale and several players needing new challenges. Mourinho has come in and immediately made us more direct, and is now adding the players he needs, with both Gedson and Bergwijn pacey, counter attacking players, and Ndombele and Lo Celso CMs who can beat an aggressive press with a pass or a dribble. If we can get a CF who can lead the line in Kane’s absence that would be the last piece in our transitional jigsaw, with DCM and FBs ready to be addressed in the summer. Interesting times!

This is spot on. It also builds confidence that we already seem to be talking about the players we need in the summer as names rather than just positions for example we have ITKs talking about Eze, Soumare, Aarons, etc.

Isn't it a bit weird that a dutch newspaper has all these images to post all over the internet before the club has even bothered to officially announce it?

Why are we so slow at doing these announcements? It's the same with the new kits being leaked every season :ROFLMAO:
