Those awards have not been decided for August yet, so that can't be true? Also, two of those three games have been Conference League qualifiers. However, the game before those three he was in the Team of the Week in the league, so I don't know if poor performances for three games is anything to be concerned about.

The quote you provided is much more concerning. Seems really unprofessional and disrespectful towards his current club. It also ties in with the post you answered, about his mentality, squabbling with teammates and getting himself substituted at half-time. Not a good look at all, if true.

I know nothing about him personally, but when both you and the poster you answered provide evidence of unprofessional behaviour, I'd say it's cause for at least some concern.

He's only 19 though. most people are capable of acting like a dick from time to time at that age.

Absolutely. And I personally don't know nearly enough about him to judge him.

But I still think it's a concern worth watching. When both a big fan of the player and a critic of him provide evidence of disrespectful behaviour, I'd say it's worth being careful. Again though, far too early to make any definite judgement.

This 100% - I’m seeing him frequently outmuscled and showing very little skill / technique. The main quality I see is his slick first passing.
Yep I don’t know why we’re putting so much time into these over-rated, over-priced young players.

Same every year with the to Njie and NKoudous. Someone has seen an exciting YouTube and is spending the cash mentally. Hopefully the club are doing some real scouting and finding a decent level of player instead of the usual opportunistic bollocks.

I am confused as to how anyone can see that youtube reel and come away unimpressed. I know you can't really make a proper judgement on a bit of YouTube because you can get a false sense of how good they are as they're the best bits but his best bits looked pretty damn good to me and thst anyone can think they didn't surprises me.

I admit I know anything about him, and maybe Lyon have put in the work prior to us being involved, but I would really hope that we're on top of this, and if we're actually interested in the player we put in a bid ASAP.

Very close to signing for Lyon according to media reports here in Denmark this afternoon.

A real shame. Got to hope the outs aren't preventing us from getting involved with players we actively want, but think that unfortunately it's probably the case. So frustrating.

He looks like a talent but I’m not sure how much effect he’d actually have this season. We do need to be getting these sort of players but I can understand why we might be more selective this window. Lyon is probably a good move for him tbh. Will get plenty of game time in a decent league. Tbh I’d like to see what Orban could do with a season there but obviously we wouldn’t be loaning him out if we got him.
