    Looks really good

    A shame we don't have an option to buy at the end of the season

    I saw how important he looks already in terms of being an outlet against the press, more so than his teammates it looked so that will absolutely change your attack I believe - everyone will be able to transition quicker into attacking positions and the kid has an eye for the pass so is well conditioned to identify runners into space

    I think he’ll probably make some great highlights before the season is over

    It may be his spot to lose now.

    Wee man looking very promising, happy to give him the jersey to see how he progresses. Think he looks a very clever player.

    Valle looks the part. Faster and more athletic than Taylor, and can hit the byeline with ease. Can defend as well, my MOTM today.

    I’m a huge fan of Taylor but he looks a level above him. Great going forward but he’s also solid going back the other way.

    Thought he looked tidy..

    Still, getting used to how much he can effect the game in this team.

    With more games and quality players around him, his confidence and experience will grow and grow.
    He is exactly what we need at left back, excellent defensively and offensively, and gives us that
    important outlet and energy on the break, that we have desperately been needing and searching for down the left.

    Can see him and GT rotating the position over the next few games.

    Another loan could be an option you would imagine if he's getting more starts from now on.

    He was everywhere today, seamlessly gets up and down his wing - something Taylor really struggles with for me.

    Loved the wee he managed to create room for crosses when it looked like there was none. Really, really intelligent football brain on him and that was particularly noticeable in tight areas.

    Very tidy on the ball and looks to have a decent delivery too. Not scared to have a pop when the situation opens up for him either.

    Really liked him today. Hope he starts against Aberdeen in a couple of weeks

    Was at the game today. Thought he was excellent. Was constantly showing for the ball and his touch and control in tight situations is superb which is what you would expect coming from Barca.

    Quality today. Was decent v Dortmund when he came on to tbf. Looks like he’ll just get better and better.

    Never nice to see a player injured but excited to see Valle get a run in the team.

    He done well second half versus Dortmund and followed that up with a promising performance today. Looks like he has the potential to be a few levels above Taylor.

    Only saw the first half. Mad how he was basically an Attacking Mid at times. Found himself in the 10 quite a lot and looked quite comfortable being there.

    There’s always an option to buy. It just won’t be easy.
