I think he could have good spells in the first team and the kinda player you want to bring on in the last 25 minutes when you’re winning the game comfortably to get game time, he can play either wing or in the number 10 position, but also would be a very handy player to have if we do have someone injured across the line on the attacking front, so far he’s scored 5 goals and assisted 10 and literally has mad skills, for 8m he’s the kind of player who would be worth 40m in a couple of seasons, I think he’s created 58 chances so far as well.
Who knows who we will get, I just hope we’re smart about it and cut our losses when the times right for certain individuals, this is the season where we should be seeing the back of El Ghazi, Trezeguet and Hourihane and having the likes of Olise, Sarr, Thuavin, Buendia to replace them.
Still not convinced Traore will ever make it, chucked in the deep end this season and we’ll be expecting a lot more next, I just don’t see it myself.
Seeing how much we’ve struggled without Grealish and how costly it’s been, you’ve got to say we need to add 2-3 quality creative players who can play in numerous positions so when we have to rejig the team we can.
On your name drop of Countinho I’ve heard he’s available for 35m before the 20m add-on kicks in when he reaches 100 appearances which is in 10 games time so Barcelona want to offload him before that, Although reports also have it he’s on as much as £250k a week.
