He has the right attitude as I don't think it's an effort issue, he just doesn't have the talent and physicality. He's way too slow and weak, doesn't have the creativity or touch to make up for it.

There's no way he'll improve enough to be a useful player. I don't think we can sell him so probably loan him to a weaker league until his contract expires and then let him go.

Awful signing, I remember Ajax fans laughing at us for paying so much for him and his numbers weren't remotely impressive on the Eredivise. Really a wreck transfer from the start, probably one of the worst signings in football history.

and there were people who defended him He is obviously the worst transfer in recent EPL history

Him, Mount, Keita and Grealish in recent times?

I’d play him as a wb as a sub for the last 20-30 mins to see if he can gain some confidence.

His confidence is absolutely shot and he was abysmal as the 10, but I still think he has a bit of potential in the wingback role. He knits play together well, works hard and holds width, making space for his team.

If he can get his confidence going, he might be able to reinvigorate himself for the remainder of this season.

He tries that isn't in doubt but neither is that he isn't very good. ETH said he was the fastest player over ten yards and unfortunately Anthony believed him.

An occasional left wingback in rotation games against teams we need to just do a shut out job on.
Probably not a great use of an 80m player, but it's where we are.

Problem is though he doesn’t have pace to run away from anyway, gets out muscled easily, can’t take anyone on. His crossing isn’t very good, won’t/can’t go on outside or use his right foot, and he just tries the same shot every time. He lacks most of the attacking qualities you want from a wingback so his potential is very limited.

He can be neat and tidy and will run up and down but he’s going to be very reliant on someone like Amad doing the bulk of the attacking. For his sake I hope he goes out on loan somewhere where he can regain some confidence, I would like to be wrong but it’s very unlikely he is going to succeed as a wing back.
