    Could go either way. Flashes of brilliance and electric pace, but very little by way of a footballing brain it seemed to me. If he carries on developing he'll be an absolute snip at that price. If he remains at the level we saw for most of the season before last, they may as well have signed Tony Rees in his prime.

    Think he was misused here, asked to come deep far too often instead of playing on the shoulder. Remember his goal at Rotherham. Still was pretty good on the ball, good long range shooter too.

    I definitely don't think we played to his strengths at all, completely agree.

    Still only 21 and his pace is frightening. Played way too deep for us and we never saw the best of him - bar a couple of quality goals.

    Think £1.75m is an absolute steal when you see names of other players banded about in that price range.

    Thought they were bust, so how can they spend money like that?
