It's a gamble for sure. Undoubted potential and international pedigree, but still has a lot to prove in Europe.
Palamero fans aren't exactly sad at losing him, put it that way.
Could work out, but based on history, the odds are against it.
I bloody well hope so, as he has always been one of my favourite players. But I've spoken to someone who is very close to him and said his recovery has been utterly unbelievable...juts passing on what I was told. I think he'll take some time to recapture sharpness/form, but I've got every confidence in the medical staff these days to get him back to a high standard.
Never really ITK, but ITK on this one. Barring in recurrences/tweaks/knocks, they are looking to have him available for full training late October/early November.
Probably more along the lines of us changing our mind, he was clearly just a fall back option for us. Looks to me as if it's 1 from Mane and Townsend now.
Don't think he's particularly quick, but I remember years back he was in the same bracket as Joaquin as options for the Spanish team.
Good experienced option on loan. Got a funny feeling we will get another attacking player too.
