    If he has signed for us he is either injured, crap or completely stupid. Maybe all three.

    He says he can play as an 8, 10 or out wide.

    If he's as good as Fernandes, I'll be happy.

    And I'll be even happier if we play them both together - because it'll hopefully mean that we ditch the back three. I struggle to see how we would get two no.8s/10s in the XI whilst playing a back three.

    No, he's a Matty Fernandes/much better than Smallbone type.

    He looks like Morgan and if he plays like him I will be pleased. The very lovely Mrs Godders already likes him.

    Only seen edited video clips. We’ve all been conned by those before.

    Yep. Big thumbs up from me. Looks like there’s a quality player in there. Him and Fernandez combining ahead of a mid like Ugochukwu will be a tantalising midfield combo.

    Turns out, he's not a very good one. Pleased it's just a loan

    I've still got no idea if he's very good, very bad, or something in between. Impossible to tell given that he's had so few minutes.

    But regardless of that answer, it's clear that whatever wages we are paying, plus whatever the loan fee was, has been yet another waste of money.
