Bring him home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He made a very positive impact in as a sub under Mourinho during the ridiculously congested start of the 2020-21 campaign.It is a lazy analysis to simply label him lazy. He is clearly not well suited to the intensity of the PL and certainly doesn't have the engine for it in CM. I wonder if there could be a role for him similar to what he has done for Napoli where he is a sub that comes on for the last 20 - 25mins in tight games or to keep possession of the ball where more control is needed. In the right formation, there could also be a role for him as a no 10 with zero defensive responsibilities where he can slide those deft passes through to the forwards. If we end up getting Madisson then he could be a back up. A pretty expensive one mind but we've already done our money so as long as we get some value out of him then that's fine with me.
