OK. I am very pleased to say he has now begun to look the part of a multi million pound player, but he has taken a time to settle I think you must admit.

I agree that he has taken time to settle, but he has always been a class or two above Kaz.

I mean no disrespect whatsoever to Kaz by saying that - on his day for us he could be superb, but Jose is far better overall and, recently at least, able to produce a high level performance week in, week out.

and who could possibly have thought it might take time for a player to settle? Really what were the odds

This.

£13.5m should buy you more than a one trick pony. His one-twos and the timing of his runs have been very very impressive. And of course, he can score a goal or two.

We might struggle to keep him if he is like this for the rest of the season though, especially if he does some damage to the top six sides we’ll be facing soon.

he's been very good, as have Stephens, Gross, Murray but they've all had more poor games than Dunk

Surely, it has to be.

He made the 2nd for Murray. That give and go is just unplayable. Also brilliant for the 4th, the way he goes past the defender and gets the cross in.

That fourth goal. I loved the way he unselfishly stood behind the line to make sure he wouldn't be offside. Great presence of mind.

Dunk now holds the record (jointly) for the most Premier League own goals in a single season.

He had a two yard pass to make to an unmarked Locadia in the 6yard box and completely blew it. He was very lucky we scored straight afterwards.

He is indeed looking really great now, and I had my doubts. He did appear a one trick pony at first but these give and goes are a thing of beauty!! Still a paradox: his close control dribbling and one-twos can be amazing. His first touch and first touch shooting is sometimes truly awful.

Mackenzie · Feb 25, 2018

He was terrific yesterday. He gets you off your seat when he running with or onto the ball. He makes things happen.

With this in mind. Think about Locadia, fresh off the boat and sticking them in. If this guy is going to get better we are in for a treat.

Yeah, but I remember how good Andy Kennedy looked in his first few games............

I hadn’t realised what a unit Locadia is. He’s huge!

Bit harsh from the Aussie there, what is there a cloud in the sky today or something?

Seems to be able to stay on his feet more than Kaz could

Early days, I agree. I'm hoping that having an old PSV teammate in the mix will help him to get into his stride quickly. We'll see.

Sure, I'm not overly proud of my Andy-Kennedy-Jurgen Locadia comparison :lolol:

Played well yesterday.

Our second goal cannot be rated highly enough. It was ******* world class. Everything about it was perfect, it was all one touch football. One the best goals I’ve seen this season. Lovely bit acceleration from Jose too.
