    What's underwhelming? When we first heard him it was all good words. Fact it's taken a year and people dont like it because they've heard his name.. bit petty.

    Aye, but we've saved x amount of wages on him and made x amount of interest with the transfer fee sitting in the bank,

    Feel for the guy. If he comes in, he is definitely an upgrade and improves us. He’s not the final solution, we still need more but think he’s a good player and would be happy getting him in. Just shows how much enthusiasm the board have sucked out of us, that the excitement for any signing is now met with cynicism. Him, another winger, a striker, left back and we should be ok. But as usual, leaving it till now is * stupid

    See if we sign him after all this time going to very * * off, should of been in weeks ago if he was a main target. Plus don’t think he’s anything great either, suppose just to cover until Jota is back but still underwhelming for sure.

    Not sure if there's any new ones.

    His videos didn't blow me away either but again we could probably throw an 8 min compilation of Yang together that would make him look like Garrincha.

    Just think that it is a bit strange the reaction. Probably cos of how long we've been linked more so and the fact it probably could have been done before now. It has taken ages.

    But he's a Belgian league winner, former U21, champions league and europa experience...Good age and experience. Plus he's been extensively scouted.

    Along with another couple he'd be ideal.

    I just think he looks proper pish..

    Eventnis video here. It's what I've seen in his other one's. Can barely beat a man. Loads of clipsof lucky bounces or bobbles off defenders when trying to put in what is usually a pishy cross..

    He's no impressive whatsoever to me..

    Was the clip of him playing in 1 game. If that's his best highlight reel then this guy is *. Even big Samaras had a better highlight reel

    I do quite like him, it is weird that he doesn't really seem like a winger or wide player type, he might be like when Armstrong played on the left for us, a good hardworking midfielder type of wide player who defends very well and is safe on the ball. Pops up with a good amount of goals and assists for someone who is very active and involved in midfield.

    This season hes played in the centre of the park in all 3 games, he usually played on the left though.

    He could be the new Armstrong, Nygren the new Rogic, Tierney the new Tierney lol

    I'm not a fan of Fatboab, but in this case, and this time, I think he is right. But he is only saying what most of us have been expecting for weeks and months. Jumping on the bandwagon to make himself to look like a big shot :56:

    Three more to come I would imagine.

    Looks like Scott Sinclair when he turned * in the compilations. Rodgers loves a winger that can’t go by a full back.

    Can't help but feel that we just scrape the barrel with guys like this. Natural though this late in the window as all the top class players have been picked up by similar teams like us but with ambition.

    There is a reason no one have bought him yet.
