    Every time this lad plays for us he seems to make something happen.

    Apparently we have an option to buy which is activated/triggered if we go up. Based on what I've seen thus far he is deffo premiership quality and Rafa should make this lad's permanency one of his key priorities.

    He also seems to really like it at NUFC.

    He's alright at Championship level but I'm not sure I've seen enough to convince me he'll cut it in the Premier League. I've seen good performances and bad performances so the jury is still out for me.

    I'd rather keep him than gouffran if we get promoted.

    Far better for the long term if he can make the grade in the top league. I'm just not yet convinced he's going to stand out at that level. We'll know better come the end of the season when we've seen more of him although if that's true about us having to buy him if we get promoted it doesn't really matter if we don't want to keep him.

    I reckon he is a decent option. I could see him doing really well as a wing back a la Moses too if we decided to adopt Conte type formation. I quite like the lad.

    I'd love to see him one side and Zaha on the other.
