KaKa Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Really good article about him changing his diet and sleep patterns to overcome his injuries, which had really held him back the last few seasons. We got him at a really good time, as he looks like he can really push on now. Clearly a talented player. Great that we have a clause in place to make the move permanent.

James Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 He didn't score. Ship him back to Chelsea he is a lightweight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Pinkman Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Seems way above Championship level. I'd sign him on a permanent in Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Superb today, really direct and effective. Great to hear. Hopefully he can make that LW his own soon. Still think Gouffran is 1st choice for Rafa, especially away. I hope that changes soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 He was a bit in and out of the game in the 1st half but got a lot more involved in the 2nd. Got in the box well too. I get the feeling he hasn't quite bought into the whole team ethic thing yet. Hopefully he gives in to it and becomes a cracking player for us.

Pilko Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Worked hard, absolutely electric and unlucky not to bag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I'd definitely take him on a permanent deal going off what we've seen, even if it's just as back up. He has a lot of the attributes you want from a winger and can only get better with more game time. He looks a right handful every game in every game I've seen him in so far.

Nobody Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Him and Ritchie on the wings has to be the way to go. Both can play on both wings as well, and they offer completely different things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 This kid needs to permanently replace Gouffran in the starting 11 asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Love to see us playing wingers on both sides and we've finally got 2 very good options in him and Ritchie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Play him as our main left winger going forward. Deadly on counter with his pace and he's extremely direct and decisive when he wants to shoot. Love it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Gouffran is a good option away from home, but this guy needs to be starting every home game from now on. He's absolutely electric. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I think because Richie works so hard we can easily afford to play him and Atsu against most teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I think Atsu works hard as well to be honest. Not as much as Ritchie maybe, but he puts a shift in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I think because Richie works so hard we can easily afford to play him and Atsu against most teams. I think that's right tbh. I also think that having Atsu occupying defenders on the other wing would probably see Ritchie getting a lot more space as well so it would be a win for both parties. Gouffran's not done a lot wrong tbf, but he's not a genuine wide man like Atsu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Really like the look of Atsu, he drifts in and out of games a bit but he looks like the sort of player that terrifies defences. Love a player who is happy to have the ball and run at people, something Atsu does a lot. Completely forgot that we've still got Aarons to come back too, once he's been glued back together.

TRon Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Rafa wants to sign him permanently in January apparently. Would be pleased with that. Looks like he's got an eye for goal as well as the party tricks out wide. Priceless in a wide player that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Considering he continues to perform and most defenders don't seem to have a clue how to defend him, on top of the fact we have an option to buy i'll be absolutely shocked if we don't exercise that option. He'll be signed permanently assuming the lad wants to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
