I'm glad the interviewer made that intervention....

Presumably Le God was an influence

Welcome aboard - if your movement is that good I’m sure Mr Azaz will love playing with you!

[for_heaven's_Saint]

Anyone know what his hold up play is like? That’s a pretty important part of Larin’s game and what we lack when he’s not playing. 

[Lighthouse]

Seems like a decent addition for relatively little financial outlay. If we can get double figures out of him that’ll be a very shrewd signing for the season.

From what I've read, it's not one of his strengths.

And that, if true, could hurt us

Could be huge for us this season. Welcome

Larin's so good at it, hopefully he can help Mubama develop in this area if so

Looks a bit of a baller this lad. Bit of a unit, but quite skillful with a good left foot, a decent finish on him and seems to have scored a few with his nut too.

Left or right one? Either would be painful 😬

Hope he doesn't get too many yellows for divin'

Divine.

Notes: he got sent off against us at SMS. Two yellows, the second for diving!

I'm hoping he blossoms before our eyes into the next Lukaku

Good player - good addition

However, from the Spider Graph posted the other day, it was statistically (when he played in the Championship last season) one of his strengths. Better than Lankshear in the posted comparison for sure and actually pretty decent for a 19/20 year old in this league.

He will need to improve for sure to be like a wise old head like Larin, but having eight players around him will help.

Somewhat underwhelmed by this. It doesn't really hit as a signing of intent. It certainly doesn't feel like a signing that says "we want to win this league". 

I genuinely hope he scores 20+ goals and is a massive success but I can't help but feel that he'll be in and out of the first team and won't be a regular starter. 

am here for what signing has ever given us this feeling

I'd say Azaz and (at the time) Fellows were pretty ambitious signings. THB too albeit on loan.

Actually, he does have a bit of the Lukaku about him doesn't he.....

Finally got around to chatting to a couple of mates who support Man City. 

The general opinion seems to be that he's very inexperienced and that expecting him to be the goal scoring solution for a team looking to get promoted is a huge ask. 

Both said that they thought he'd be a useful squad player and that it'll be good for his development but they're surprised that we haven't gone looking for someone with a bit more experience.

How many games have they seen him play?

[revolution saint]

My mate is a massive Man City fan and he's followed Mubama since he signed for Man City and honestly, he's obsessed with him.  He's watched every single minute of competitive and non competitive games that Devin has played, he's even peaked over his garden fence to watch him kick some balls around his back garden.  There's nothing this lad doesn't know about Mubama.
Anyway, finally got around to chatting to him yesterday and he said, he thought he'd be a useful squad player and that it'll be good for his development but he's surprised that we haven't gone looking for someone with a bit more experience.
