    I'm surprised BR actually makes it to games while living 24/7 in your head.

    Every bit as bad as his YT clips suggested he would be.

    Gotta really ask who chased this guy for 13 months?

    He does not look like a Rodgers style of winger at all.
    Why did we actively go back in for him after his injury? He's too old for the usual punt/hope/club signing.
    There is no chance I'm buying this is a Rodgers signing.
    Makes no sense when we lined up Tounekti as well, who does operate as a Rodgers type of winger.

    He couldn’t look any more similar to when Stuart Armstrong was being played wide.

    i onlg seen Belgian fans saying he was a good player when he signed but i never seen the appeal on the YouTube clips.


    Lot’s of time but he’s not looking great

    The guy hasn’t lit up any games yet, we must give him time to settle in.
    Hopefully he finds his feet and shines, we really do need it this season.

    Is there anyone in here that have actually thought we were getting a player?

    The LW version of Barkas. Many of us saw it from day 1.

    We were better off with Bain over Barkas and we would be better off with Palma (or Davy Crockett) over Michel.

    Another 5 million wasted. Will be sent on loan to Belgium in the summer.

    You could be excused for thinking this signing is some sort of hoax. The reason for the hoax I just can’t find yet. Could be to do with money laundering.

    Over a year we've been tracking this guy. Let that sink in.

    Put him where engles played and I assure you his passing is 100% better. So a bargain really.

    I said this before but I think the reason we haven't bought him before now is because he wasn't near the top of our list. To me he's been a fall back option.

    Hope you are right mate. I don't ever want to see a player for us failing.

    I want to see him in midfield, it's clear he will never cut it with us as a wide player as he just looks like he's not interested in running with the ball which we knew before he signed him so it's mental we signed him to play on the wing.

    He is a link player and player with vision who likes to pass and move and knit things together in the middle of the park.

    Yeah I just can't see him being near the top of a list at all.
