He's thrived, He's proved he can do it in the championship, I personally think that by throwing him into this kind of environment would be great for him, this is the real world of playing for a team who needs results, not being in a team who win most games in a lower level , unless he feels his good enough for Liverpool or City...
I personally would like to see if he can make it or not at this level, all about personal opinions tho.
When we get Antonio on the pitch alongside Haller, it’s a different attacking dynamic. Problem is he is not reliable, fitness wise.
So we need another pacy alternative to Antonio. You either buy one in, or you recall Diangana who is not like for like but offers you that direct pace. Up to the Dave’s at the end of the day. Give Moyes £20m for a new one or recall Diangana. They will probs do neither.
We are light up top. Hernandez, Perez, Carroll, Arnautovic traded in for Haller & Ajeti. We need a goalscorer.
Midfield is weak, as we all know. A physical player in there would do wonders for us. And RB is a problem because when Fredericks picks up how minor knock every 5 games, we need somebody who can replace him like for like, especially it Moyes wants to play he wingback system.

Lazaro looks like an ideal option. Pacy winger/wingback and available on loan, who can play on either flank. But reports have him going to Newcastle.
I'm worried that the board are trusting that Fredericks and Johnson will be back to cover the RB/RWB role, and hoping that Wilshere will get fit before the end of the month so they can claim he's the answer to our midfield problems.
I think risking his development isn’t worth calling him back for unless we are sure he’ll play. If Antonio and Anderson are fit, he might not. I personally don’t think player development is as clear as “he’s good enough or he’s not”, I think there are moments and periods that define things for a player. Right now he’s riding a wave and to break that and then not offer him regular chances to develop in the PL could have a permanent effect. It’s a risk for and for him. I’d rather loan someone in than disturb Diangana’s progress.
So if Rosa and Ngekia are making our 18....wouldn't he?
Antonio is a permanent sick case and cant be relied on, so we are only missing Anderson and Yarmolenko in terms of attacking players
Yarmo seems well out of favour, so in reality the only miss yesterday was Anderson (attacking wise)
I'm happy for Holland to get minutes, but surely he could've done something for us given our lack of depth and lack of transfer activity
Hes just injury prone, dont really think you can blame the club
