Question is when will we see it and how will it manifest in this team. I see him now as a potentially brilliant super sub to come on and finish games off - OR to unpick a lock. Not probably what the board want from a £100 million player but still..
Start form there - integrate him slowly. As he gains confidence at this level then take stock and see IF he can play a more central role. Robbo wasn’t thrown straight in starting games nor was Fabinho… Robbo was already Prem proven too.
Throwing him in - with new FB’s and or Szobozlai in there & missing from the midfield - new forwards in Ekitike and Isak…. no Diaz or Jota…. well it’s asking too much imo - might work in Holland - not here
