A few of us questioned the signing, and the cost, in the summer. And he isnt a bad player. But we have him producing some fairly ordinary performances while Nwaneri has had to go on loan to get games.

I thought that right hand side was a good place for an 18 year old to adjust to senior football rather than slinging him into the central role when he isnt really ready.

He was, largely, ****ing awful last night.

All energy. No product.

A ****e Eboue, if you will.

I think a better question would be whether or not we should have bought Eze and given Nwaneri a chance there.

That?s a good point but I think it?s easy to overlook Nwaneri?s age. I suspect Dezerbi will use him sparingly too over in Marseille?s.
It?s a good loan because it?ll give him a great chance to do what Balogun and Biereth have struggled to do at Monaco so far, prove themselves.

****ing harsh:-)

But agree. I thought he was ****e.

A long time ago, I went to a friendly at Barnet. Perry Groves, a young, functional player with a bit of pace and little else at that time, was giving it step overs and back heels ahainst the non league players. I didn't think much of it.

I had a similar feeling last night watching Madueke
