Does that mean Ben Davies isn’t on there either?!

To be fair, they are both extraordinary players

It is achievable. Certainly with the time they have on the training pitch.. For example, a friend of mine was offered the part of Paul McCartney in the West End show of The Beatles, Let It Be.. He started off the show playing right handed - Macca is famously a leftie - skip forward a few weeks, and under pressure to do so, he was playing everything left handed, and had never even tried before. And that is no mean feat. There was only one part in the show where he slipped back to right hand, and that was the solo part he did of Yesterday, where he plays the acoustic guitar in a picking style. So, fair enough.

This is true. I am Brazilian with Portuguese roots and I can't understand my granny very well (she is Portuguese).
Former Flamengo coach and now Benfica coach, Jorge Jesus, was very difficult to understand in press conference. His accent created a lot of memes while he stayed there in Brazil.

I am looking forward to seeing him play, but let's wait and see. We have a history of bringing in strikers with good reputations and then they don't quite meet those expectations i.e. Rebrov, Postiga, Zamora, Soldado, Janssen..I am not saying he will be like any of those strikers and I think he has all the attributes to be a success and offer us something different.
It will be fantastic to finally have a striker who offers us a credible choice, when Kane needs a rest or to play alongside him and who has a bit of pace as well..

Difference is that he's coming as 2d choice so less pressure to perform.

The only time I want to see him come on today is to give kane a rest and not because we desperately need a goal!

What if we’re 8 up and Jose brings him on in place of Hugo just to inflict more goals?

Can’t ask for a better debut really. Strong both aerially and in pressing, intelligent and measured runs off the ball, and two genuinely difficult first time assists.
the best part is, even if he only gave us the first two points without the final assists I’d have been over the moon, it’s so clear he’s the focal point we were missing without Kane.

Hopefully he gets a goal soon, but looks like he will do a good job when needed

Looks like someone we'd be more than happy to have as first choice striker at most times, just not in the Kane era.
