£18m is another good low purchase / high potential signing so smart business.

We're buying a lot of 23 and under players for reasonable fees (and Hackney who's 24), and whilst we need to accept some of these won't work out, it only takes a few for the needle to be moved both on the field, and off it, if and when we sell for high profit.

Now if we could PLEASE spend some money on some full backs I'd be most grateful!

Don’t think we’ll lose all that much if it doesn’t work out and we sell for a loss either.

We are a perfect club for young players who are not quite good enough for the ultra wealthy clubs to get regular game time and establish themselves.

We’re also a perfect club for the older ones who the ultra wealthy clubs are done with but still have a few years of good football left in them.

I’m glad we’re leaning into this approach a bit. If we could start to supplement those two main supply lines with the odd gem from abroad, we could be a perennial Europa League team with the potential to win the competition and we could also be in the mix for the FA Cup every year. I’d be extremely happy with that.

Quite happy to give this guy Grealish's minutes tbh, looks like he'll be fantastic once he matures and develops, whilst also being good enough to play regularly now.

He's direct, has pace and doesn't look out of place at all. Just needs regular game time to reach the potential he clearly has.

He is a baller. Super direct, great first touch, lovely finish as well with a lovely smattering of confidence, but low ego.

Genuinely have high hopes for him this year and think he will be in running for POTY if Grealish doesn’t sign. It will be massive for him if that deal doesn’t happen.

[StirlingBlue]

I must have missed the whole “Evil Saka” thing of him being a grumpy lookalike of Saka but now I’ve seen it I totally get it.

The top comment under a story about him on reddit was calling him Sukayo Baka and it made me lol

[brap2]

I think he’s looked really good pre season. Tbh i think he looks a bit like he’s been taking the piss with his quality on the ball. Really looking forward to watching him this year.

[kramer]

Full of confidence today and was in complete control.

Only thing that let him down was his finishing.

Gonna be a bargain for £18m.

Good game. The possibility of Grealish returning is still overhead it feels like and that could well be an issue as we saw with Dibling’s game time today.

Part of why we did well today was because of George and his pace. As good as Grealish is, he slows us down massively

[chocciestarfish]

Sharp and energetic, got some tricks too!

Definitely a high ceiling for this kid if he can be bit more consistent with his final ball

[Silas]

Not going to lie, I didn't see it with him. Love it when a young lad proves me way wrong. He's quality and his movement is excellent as much as anything else.

[Bumble]

He had Munoz on toast early on but then kept cutting inside instead of doing him on the outside.

He’ll improve and only get better. If he gets enough game time to learn his trade.

[The Doc]

England call-up later in the season. Im calling it.

[Bob Sacamano]

Really enjoy watching this kid.

[Shogun]

Thought he was brilliant today. Even made Mykolenko look glad decent.
