if the board are giving Karanka a mid season review, thought we should do the same. So what does everyone think of our record signing.
Personally I like him, clearly got skill, works hard, presses much better than dowell. Has a similar tendancy to disappear but I guess thats always likely for a number 10.
I think he’s unfairly judged on his price tag. Not so much in the sense he has no choice but that we invested in potential rather than end product. That means it’s not just about contribution but potential future value. I think he’ll grow in confidence/ability the longer he plays in England. This is still only his first year in professional football playing every week. I think his value hasn’t gone down since we signed him.
Most people seem to judge that as he’s not the best player in the league already he’s doing badly. Just wanted to see if others agree with me.
