Turned on MUTV only to see him subbed out immediately.
It's his first game back from a big lay off. Let's reserve judgment for now.Watched the match. He's big and strong, would suit the league well I think.
But from what I saw, he's not ready yet. Not a great debut, but perhaps a solid one. I hope and think he's one the right man for the future.
He looks like Januzaj with extra pace and confidence in that clip. Oh and that cross too, already miles ahead from any of our current fullbacks. Good stuff.Tweet

Chong isn't even close to ready, nor is Dalot.Dalot and Chong down our right hand side would be better than Mata and Valencia right now.
Jesus, if Valencia was crossing like that there would be people on the street with pitchforks.He looks like Januzaj with extra pace and confidence in that clip. Oh and that cross too, already miles ahead from any of our current fullbacks. Good stuff.
That looks like a younger version of Valencia but with not a very dead left foot. Same pace, dribbling, long balls and the shite crossing, all are exactly the same as Valencia. Gonna be fun.Tweet

Of the two I remember, one was wayward but the other was a peach. Just nobody in the box to attack it.Jesus, if Valencia was crossing like that there would be people on the street with pitchforks.
I don't see the comparison at all. I think he looks quite polished on the ball for a full back. A couple of erratic touches but that's par for the course with a new player, especially a younger one.That looks like a younger version of Valencia but with not a very dead left foot.

You're so so wrong on this.I don't see the comparison at all. I think he looks quite polished on the ball for a full back. A couple of erratic touches but that's par for the course with a new player, especially a younger one.
I'm guessing this is a case of you hating Jose so trying to get the pitchforks out ASAP for one of his signings.
I liked peak Valencia, but the way I read it, it sounded like a criticism. Some posters don't remember how effective he was and often slate him, so I thought you were being sarcastic.You're so so wrong on this.
Actually peak Valencia was a pretty good player. If he's a fraction of the young Valencia it will be fun. Comparing him to young Valencia is a praise not criticiam.
I meant comparing him to a younger Valencia but it's fine, no problem at all mate.I liked peak Valencia, but the way I read it, it sounded like a criticism. Some posters don't remember how effective he was and often slate him, so I thought you were being sarcastic.
Besides, I don't see the comparison in the limited time I've seen him. I don't want to mention the comparison that I'd make, but it was made by a few Porto fans when we signed him...
Back when football was fun.The last time I was excited to see a RB's debut was Rafael when we played Peterborough. He was fantastic.
Agree but from last night he didn’t look ready for the first team. A lot of those heavy touches could be his lack of game time though.It's his first game back from a big lay off. Let's reserve judgment for now.
Shaw has stared the season excellently. And he is still 23.If we sign Tierney next Summer we'll have the fullback positions sorted for the next decade.
That comment wouldn’t go unchallenged in our current captain and RB performance thread.Needs to improve his crossing quite a lot.
He is 19 so he willNeeds to improve his crossing quite a lot.
Not always how it works but hopefully .He is 19 so he will
