Don't see why. We've seen nothing of him so far so can't judge. I thought he had development squad signing written all over him when he joined, but I could be wrong.
No I agree with you, he is here for development. But in my mind he'll be dipped in and out of the first team squad, when we need him. Being a natural wide player, I can see him being used ahead of Tavares in those position - for his development.
Based on what?
Based on what I've seen of Tavares over the last 3 years and a 4 min Youtube compilation of Rapha.
This was definitely my stance but he’s shown glimpses of being able to positively impact games.
For the sake of his own long-term career he needs to actually play regular first team football.
He’s not a winger anyway.
I was right in front of that tackle, 2 defenders clattered him think anyone could have come out of that injured.
Yes, absolutely. However, I was highlighting that the ankle and surrounding tissue could become weakened, as I’m sure I read that the ankle injury is on the same foot that he ruptured the Achilles tendon.
Because he hardly played for them. He’s 24 in January and never consistently played first team football.
Can’t really take anything from friendly matches, I think he needs to leave for his own sake. He’ll never get regular minutes here.
He still isnt fully fit and also we dont play any friendlies for another 3 weeks officially!
