    He didn’t do ‘great last preseason’.

    He was on loan in League 2. Brody Patterson done well with Queens Park as well but I don’t see him making it here.

    Weird I’ve seen * all of him but apparently you’ve seen enough to know the only thing that’ll stop him making it here is his physicality.

    Making videos of him and getting offended at someone saying he’s proven nothing here so far.

    I’m starting to think you are his mrs…

    I think he looks a cracking player personally, good technique and positive in possession, always looks to get the ball forward, very precise with his passing too, bewildering that he hasn't played a competitive minute for us yet.

    Don’t think he lost the ball once yesterday and always played a forward pass and got a nice assist. Only the first game of pre season so not much to go on but any clips of him I’ve seen have been the same, hopefully we see more of him in the next week or so

    Surely worth a bit of game time? Lets face it, if he cannot get game time last 3 games, he is never going to get any. Best for him to move on now, would have loved to see him get a wee run, showed so much promise in that Hibs game last year.

    I watched him play for Ireland U21's there in a few games we played in Marbella at the end of last season and as much as I wanted to be impressed I wasn't. Just seems too lightweight and not quite fast enough on the ball with his vision.

    I'd be loaning him out again, he needs game time and he's behind Shaw and Soro for the other CM spot, not to mention I'd currently have Robertson ahead of him.

    Doesn't seem to be involved, thought he was injured

    Halfway through his contract, I'd say final loan to a proper team to rough him up a bit; probably English championship would be best, and then good enough for renewal and playing or punt. Think with Ange though he'll probably stay, and we'll be seeing him gone next summer

    I've been impressed anytime I've seen him.

    He can also play left back.

    Weird thing is, in the promo training video you could hear "yes Luca", "great Luca" all through it... Then you hear that he doesn't rate him... It just feels strange!
