Eh? What early signs are there to suggest he hasn't settled?

Seems normal to me. Even Murphy hasn't slotted into the squad. It's not a matter of settling, it's a matter of getting to know your team mates and for there to be an opening in the squad.

Maybe, just seems a little odd the choice of words.
I think (hope) you're just reading too much into it. The question was whether he would start against Hull, and it's no surprise the answer was no, because the team are doing too well to drop anyone.
We're also not entirely sure where he will play - in Baldock's position, on the wing, or as part of a front 3 in a 433/451? CH might not know where he's going to play yet either.
You're right, its a strange way to publicly explain a new players introduction to the club.
Without knowing, it seems quite damning to me.

Actually re reading it, the last line is odd. 'Were finding out lots of things about each other'. Is a strange choice of words as you say, hopefully we're reading too much into it.

That last line is quite a worry. Maybe he simply hasn't impressed Hughton at all in training so far? Really hope it's nothing like that

According to the line-up on the report on the official site, Goldson partnered White in the centre of defence with Barclay playing in midfield.
You mean people are getting titsy over this, wow.
Spot the team who haven't lost yet.
Don't worry people they'll be plenty of real stuff to moan about, soon enough.

He got on the bench, so can't be doing too badly.

Think you've read too much into it. Have you revised your opinion after last night?
PS after March's performance last night, I'd expect Manu has just moved one up the pecking order. CH has been very loyal to the players that have played well, and will make those outside the 11/18 wait to prove themselves when the opportunity arises. See Dunk, for instance.

Why should i change my opinion? Did he come on? As i said if you read my post properly - I really hope it's nothing like that and i'm reading to much into it.
Hughton said something about given him time to settle.
Uwe a 1.5 million(roughly) signed on the 12th Aug and two days later straight into the team.
Elvis signs for 1.5 million during a two week break and didn't even make the bench for the first game.
Like i say i hope i have got it all wrong.

Difference with Uwe is that Dunk had downed tools against Southend. That's looking like a great decision from CH, especially in terms of building team and squad cohesion.
