Must be a bit hard for Skipp to take.

Best get his head down in training. The example of Tanganga shows that Jose isn't opposed to promoting talented youth.

Mate says he had a look at him training and he's like Sissokko with a first touch and less dithering.

I've heard a few of these Sissoko comparisons. Even saw one calling him Pogbaesque in the way he drives into space.

Quite excited to see how he fares, whilst still remembering that he's still only young.

From the few clips I have seen, that's exactly the same as I thought.... Still means we need a proper DM though.

Off the bench surely? He's not played a lot for Benfica, so he won't be up to speed yet & it would be a big risk putting him on against Watford from the start.

Jose seemed to suggest that he wasn't starting. To be fair, he said that he'd be involved it could be anything from a full game to the 89th minute.

Tough game for Gedson to make his debut.

People shouldn't have any expectations from him this early on - well hopefully not anyway.

I’m fairness, that’s a hell of a player if it translates to the pitch. A more technical and intelligent Sissoko, or a more proactive Dembele, improves us in both directions (again, if it translates onto the pitch).

Late sub at most I'd say.
