    Ange's recruitment has been absolutely phenomenal. This guy looks a steal at 21 , very similair to big Tam.

    Ange can't half spot a decent player...

    Aye he does but with the new signings I just can’t see him getting back in the side.

    With the amount of injuries we get I’m sure all our midfielders will get their fair share of appearances.

    Ange is spoilt for choice in there now definitely.

    Aye I rate Turnbull, but by the time he's fit he's going to find it hard to get back into the starting 11.

    Not a bad thing of course, will be nice to have some quality players to rotate with.

    Gonna need plenty of rotation.

    Turnbull contributes a lot (more so than rogic if we are going down the stats route).

    Personally would love to see him in the midfield with Hatate and O'Riley.

    Some proper exciting combinations in there.

    Can't deny it was a good debut and if he does end up better than Turnbull we have just found an absolute steal. The boy looks to have massive potential, still only 1 game though

    No doubt about it a really good debut for him. Looking froward to seeing what he can produce when he actually has time to bed in.

    Great debut..

    Seems to lack a wee bit of pace tho, to be totally objective..

    His touch and vision is absolute class and will only get better.

    Ill reserve judgment on them until week 3. Every corner taker in recent years just unlearns how to take them here :56:

    Dont think he was bought for his pace and dont think he needs it. Good vision and passing is better than speed.

    The rate we are going through players and volume of games, O’Riley, Hatate, Rogic and Turnbull will all see plenty of games. Even within a game the amount they have to put in playing that role in Ange’s setup even having four solid options and allowed to use five subs is massive.

    If it wasn’t for injuries imagine being able to start Hatate, O’Riley, Kyogo, Jota and Abada and being able to bring on Turnbull, Rogic, Forrest, Maeda, Giakoumakis and hopefully another good winger. Even being able to change 3 of those.

    What a change that would be to the bench of mainly young defenders we have had for most of the season.
