    The lad seemed to handle it okay.

    Still a bit under-sized fo regular use in that role in my opinion, but a decent option to have for an emergency in a cup game like an early Carabao cup game against a lower tier team.

    I really do hope the lad beefs up a bit this season.
    He'd be useful in multiple areas including possibly his long-term role of (eventually?) replacing Grav or providing an option to that pivot position.
    Yeah I have no objections to occasional Nyoni use either, though picking-and-choosing the matches (if it's starts) or the appearances (if it's 15 or so minutes) will need judged carefully. Really prefer to try and get them as many situations as possible where we are 2-0 up and only have 10 minutes left as possible to build confidence - though if they're ready, they're ready!

    Having utility players is amazing, really is. Naturally top-level specialists are what you want in an elite team in a few positions, but who doesn't want two or three "Milners" in a squad?

    Gomez too deserves credit for those performances at left-back. Wish the lad could stay fit.

    Have to say the same. Looks an extremely astute signing. This lad has a huge future and is rated so highly in the land that is known for making the best of the best.

    Look at the size of the bastard! 6'4" and built like a tank at 18!

    Saw a clip of him throwing Lukaku around like a rag doll.

    Aye good point there regarding Yoro. We did want him but Utd just desperate played silly buggers throwing around crazy money. Which is obviously not like them at all.

    Ufff yeah. Ł70m, wasn't it?
    He's played about 20 games so far for them. So the jury's still out I guess...
