Can't wait to see more of him this season. It's like we've totally forgotten about this guy. Watch this space.

I truly think he will make a big impact this season. By far the quickest, trickiest player in the squad.

Agree - brings a different attacking dimension to the team. Acceleration, pace, excellent touch and movement, eye for goal and creativity as well. The only thing he needed was an adjustment to the pace of the game and to "up" his physical presence. Hopefully 6 months and a Poch pre-season will give him what he needs.

Moura/Son Ali Ericksen/Lamela - a decent attacking 3. If supplemented by Grealish and maybe Zaha which will push Ali further forward.

Need a couple of strong CDMs. Dier and Winks are very good. Dembele - perhaps not too many years. And if Wanayama stays injury free this can be a very very good year for him. Should be at his peak.

Generally very good squad - need 2/3 more to really challenge.
