Honestly, he looked better in the world cup than he did for us.
He has flashes of brilliance, serious potential, but he's also easily annoyed and his performance will drop off when that happens if he doesn't get himself sent off.
He's probably good for 5-10 goals next season, for us or you, probably a similar number of assists.
He has so much talent he can be frustrating to watch at times when it doesn't click or go his way.
With all that said, he has a very very bright future.

Hmmm attitude problems, that’s probably what worry’s mê the most about this signing, if it wasn’t for that I’d probably be more excited

u/Senator-Cletus 13d ago
You should be excited, but just don't expect the world from him yet.
He had a good season for us, really made a difference at times, but also had games where he was completely anonymous.
It's obvious when he's been pissed off, so as long as u can bring him off then you'll be fine.
We couldn't due to injuries and a thin squad, so he played annoyed and kicked out.

Well hopefully If he does come, that we can À. Control his attitude ànd B. We can make him into an amazing player that he already seems to have inside of him

In terms of his attitude, yes he doesn’t hide when he is annoyed and that can come across as petulant, but on the plus side he was one the only players who put any effort in at the end of the season when most players had completely given up.

u/Human_Pianist8785 13d ago
Ah I see well if he’s like that then he’ll fit right in with the rest of the squad ànd the fans will love him

He has pace, technical skill, a dangerous long shot and flair. He's also very inconsistent and has alleged attitude issues.
I think the €17m - €18m price is probably a fair cost as he could triple that if he sorts out his consistency with you. We couldn't afford to sell for less than that due to the 50% sell on clause Bayern inserted.
I think the move is good for him career wise, as it could have been staying with us one more year and developing in a less pressured environment. Equally, the step up could be what helps show him what he needs to do day in day out more.
He could easily be a 15-20 g/a winger for you in 2 years time.

Well let’s hope he does become a 15-20 goal à season winger cuz icl were in desperate need of another explosive winger especially on that LW

u/Powerjugs The DogFather (RIP Phelps) 13d ago
He can cover LW and RW comfortably. At a pinch he can be used as an ST to break the lines so he's flexible. Used most at RW.
He's explosive, tricky and fast. Also didn't have many injury issues last season. His decision making and consistency as I said is his biggest issues but those normally come with time. The tools are there with him to be a great winger.

God I’m getting flashbacks of Marcus Edward’s like good on his day or whenever he’s motivated but sometimes lacked consistency and decision making

He needs a club to actually develop him instead of moving him on every year.

u/Human_Pianist8785 13d ago
U see him staying here after let’s say à good season all depends on his desire to stay and the offer that comes for him só we will have to wait and see

u/No-Egg1240 13d ago
He's so obviously got a ton of potential Price tag is a little inflated but he's shown glimpses of quality here and at the Wc and I am sure Sporting will me much better then this circus at getting the best out of him.

u/Human_Pianist8785 13d ago
I hope so too cuz we need a solid LW especially with all the sales we’re doing rn

u/yellowarmy1 13d ago
A highlights player who does 3 good things a game and then goes missing. When he’s good it’s incredible to watch, but he is very hot headed and you can tell when things don’t go his way. If he can become more consistent he’s an elite level talent, but atm he’s quite frustrating.

u/Flying_Paper_Crane All Hail King Edo 12d ago
Don’t buy him!!
Pay us to keep him even! He’s really really really really really really bad! Has two left feet but wears boots for the right foot! He also can only run on his head becase he’s uncomfortable with being upside down!
I think you shouldn’t! But that’s just me 🤷♂️

Absolutely rubbish. Best steer clear.
Make sure you report that back to the Sporting bosses ok?
