I hadn't realised that Kouyate had played alongside Luka in France earlier in their careers. Not sure if they both played in the centre or not but that would be a bruising midfield and Kouyate can power through the middle or wide which gives us options we haven't had. We do need to quickly settle the first 11. I can still see Meyer starting wide left as he settles in. We need someone that can get us up the pitch and he looks to have the energy to get into the box from there too. Just hope he is as good as predicted, no pressure.......

His speed over the ground, change of direction, balance, and late runs into the box from the brief time he was on, remind me more of a Coutinho in Liverpool days kind of role, although not sure how that fits in with us

He's going to be class.
Looked a level above even if it was just a short cameo.

I know that there is a strong expectation that he will play in the centre. Swansea might not be a bad time to try that TBH if it is the plan.

He looked pretty lively and had a good opportunity. Having played the early part of his career as a number 10 and more towards a number 6 last seaosn he said in his interview he sees himself as something in between like a number 8. Well we gave him 7 I think given RH likes his wide players to play narrow rather than hug the line and his ability to move us forward i suspect he will play out there on the left. |

When I said wide, I did mean wide midfielder, as we play, not as a winger.

Really? I'm not sure he showed anything to suggest he was a class above.
To be clear, I expect him to prove to be an excellent signing, but (unsurprisingly given the circumstances of the match, the time he was on, and his lack of match time) I'm not sure he showed anything particularly special on Monday.

I am really looking forward to seeing this guy play, it would be great to have another superstar to take some of the oppositions attention off wilf.

No. In Belgium they have proper bogs but in France you stand over a hole in the ground and try not to miss when you s***e. Entirely different.

Only a sneak peak of what he offers so far, but just from the glimpses of a player without a proper pre-season, he is going to be massive addition for us. He has that natural awareness of where everyone is and looks to push the ball forward when the chance arises.

Has to start over Schlupp, who as I’ve said since he arrived, is tidy but doesn’t have that much about him. Would probably be an excellent LWB, but he’s an average left back and an average left midfielder.

This kid could be exceptional for us. I think he's going to be everything we hoped Cabaye was going to be and more.

i would say more. Cabaye flattered to deceive. Very tidy but how many match winning performances?

Schlupp clearly has his shortcomings but is a great squad player for a club like ours to have.

Looked very tidy overall. Underhit a few longer passes, one of which put us in trouble at the back. Seemed to be in the right place at the right time quite a bit and liked to get involved in play, particularly shorter interplay around the corner, one-twos and give-and-gos. Has that 'wavelength' that players like Wilf, RLC, PVA and Cabaye have which leads to some classy looking play. Excited about his future with us!

i'd expect (and hope) to see him starting next Saturday. Very tidy player who looks busy and industrious.
