No.
But, like some many of our signings, he has the ceiling / potential to improve. Needs to be more flexible in setup and approach, see his reluctance last season to move to 5 at the back, then slow to move away from it. He, and the soon confirmed squad, need to learn to be more flexible during games. Any well prepared opposition manager would find it relatively straightforward to setup against our teams, in a similar vein to Silva’s comments about Amorim the other week. It’s been hard to create the same “greater than the sum of the parts” results with such wholesale changes and injuries and underperformance of various signings (setup to throw ins this season is a small but good example of difficult it is to fully impose KM’s detailed and methodical approach quickly). As many others have observed, let’s see where he is in another 4-5 games, and then again come Christmas - by which time he will have had sufficient time to show how he’s learnt to win games, how he’s learnt to be flexible to get results, how he’s learnt to try different things (2 up top, 4-3-3, 5-3-2) to unlock defences. Mick, for all his faults and restrictions, was pragmatic, we might need to see a dose of this in coming months. |

Likewise. But more because it’s silly to start the season with so much uncertainty over squads for every team - shut the window earlier please!
And then once it’s all done and we know who is here, a pointless international break… |

He’s appeared around 40 times for town already.
Appreciate not always settled role, different role from before, etc but how much more time is he gifted? |

Big no from me, never saw enough of him before the accident to warrant a deal, let alone now. |

Yes. It’s an issue. Play Townsend, drop leif, have Philogene or broady ahead |

A guy in a pub who owns a dog once told me you need to use a obfuscated server on your VPN (this hides the fact you’re using a VPN), he reckoned Nord VPN has this offering and works a treat. |
