Our new fastman winger about to embark on his Premier League career with us comes from FC Brugges, towards the end of the transfer window to a newly promoted team.
I am not sure how good he is or where CH will put him in the team, but many on here are refering to him in 'prodigal son' terms and have raised the expectation of what he can do for us. To put this in context, how much would we think Knockheart is worth, then compare this with what Izquierdo has cost us.
I feel we should adopt a wait and see approach as with Propper, Gross, Suttner and Ryan, otherwise we may be disappointed and back to the usual who wasted the money on this guy.
I do want him to be a roaring success, but I will wait and see like all of our other new signings.

Point of order, a prodigal son returns home ala Murray. Inquierdo is brand new, not a returning player.

If he doesn't get a hat-trick, two assists, nutmeg the ref, kiss the badge and clap the fans on his debut he will officially be a flop and a huge waste of money for which heads must roll.

Now we all know where we stand

So, he's not the prodigal son, just a very naughty boy.

We could have a 'discussion' about his form.

A load of people can say 'he's shite', while others reply 'it's too soon to know'.

That is how a discussion works, isn't it?

Too late to suggest that as he is already being hailed as our saviour without much knowledge about him.

Be careful calling another man "naughty boy" on here. The homophobic Leicester fans that read our board might feel vindicated.

Hope he's decent FFS.
Saw on twitter earlier about our signings, that Brighton have opened a bag of Revels and pulled out four coffee ones!
Made me laugh anyway.

We have several new signings that will take a while to bed in, however the expectation is much sooner.

It will take till October at the earliest
