Liked what i saw of him against us. Rapid right winger. Haven't watched him much so would like to know from someone who has watched him a bit. Could he be an option for us? 1 goal, 4 assists in 6 games in the league so far.
 
Seems to do his best work from the left, but he could absolutely be a very good option on the right.
 
He had that look a season or two ago of being destined for the top. Distinctly remember him causing Liverpool all sorts of problems a while back. Glad his injury didn't throw him off course.

Could be but he's played mostly on the right this season anyway.
 
Always liked him, been really unlucky think he has had x2 serious injuries, so he needs a season injury free and hopefully he hasn’t lost any of his pace.

Hes dangerous off both feet so can play either side. It’s a player we (Arsenal) have been linked with a fair bit in the past, I’m wondering if he can genuinely become an option again to provide strong competition for Saka especially.

Somehow get 30m for Sancho and get this guy for 70m would be fantastic. Antony needs competition and not from Pellistri.

£70m for a winger with 12 goals in 117 games? I know he's mostly been in a poor defensive side but come on, what a waste of money.

He should not cost 70m they sold Jota for about 45 for a benchmark
 
Would be a quality signing. This has Liverpool written all over it
 
Would take him can play on the right and left as he's comfortable going in or outside the fullback. These are the types of signings the club should be making a promising player who at a bigger club has the opportunity to go to the next level. Young aswell reminiscent of the recruitment strategy Liverpool had during their recent prime years.
 
Whenever I have seen him he's shown that he can keep the ball under pressure so obviously I like him. I'm all for it.
 
Very good start to the season.

I rated him massively a couple of years back but then had a bad ACL that took two years out of his career.

Started this season great and still only 23 so no reason why he won't make it to the CL eventually unless he follows the path of Ruben Neves.
 
Another good assist yesterday. Seen we’ve been linked with going back in for him in the press this morning.

Didn't realise this. Hopefully he had that ACL young enough to make a full recovery.

Hardly unbelievable. Got lucky with the deflection too.

He leaves Foden and Ake for dead with the ball at his feet, that is pretty amazing. That is Dan James speed but with a better football brain attached.

He pretty much runs in a straight line and rides a couple of challenges. Good play but it’s not exactly some absurd piece is skill like Martial vs Fulham.

Its not just the run. its the close control to guide the ball while accelerating and decelerating, its not an easy thing to master at such high speed.

He did the exact same last week v Luton.

He's looking like he's getting back to top form again, he's a very good player.
 
We should try to get him next summer. Assuming he keeps up this trajectory, he should be number one on the list and it's not even close. He can play left winger and right winger to very high standards, and is unstoppable at his best. He will improve our attacking play so much.

If not us, then City, Real or Barcelona will be sniffing around.

He doesn’t have Dan James speed. He lost a foot race against Shaw earlier this season. He’s quick for sure, but not Daniel James fast. But very, very few are.
 
He's a good player, his pre-injury form was pretty lit tbh, but in this match Guardiola placed Ake against an explosive winger like Neto. What was he thinking?

Ake is usually pretty good in those situations. Had an off-day. Neto is superb
 
So, back to pre-injury level? Good for him! It’s delightful to watch him playing so well.
 
Edu already tried once to get him, not sure Wolves would let him go in January or how we could afford it.

 
He's brilliant. They're not the same player but he could be a Mane type signing. He's a full-back's nightmare. He's got some workrate too.
 
Great player, we should be all over this but he'll end up at Liverpool

His best position is where Saka or Martinelli play though and they’re all similar ages, doesn’t make much sense?
 
Could have bought 3/4 Neto's for Antony and Sancho.
