He's been pretty good against City so far. He seems really comfortable as a RW. We used him as a SS or LWB even. Really shitty move to sell Kulusevski and replace him with 80 year old Di Maria
He’s actually producing significantly less g+a/90 this season than he did in the first half of 21-22 under Max. That’s how bad he’s been. 230 minutes/goal or assist this year. 194 minutes/goal or assist at Juve last year.
Now I’m sure someone here will have a little tantrum about this, because no player could ever perform worse than they do under Max.

He is not a leader, he rides the general momentum of the team as a whole. When the team was on the Conte high from his initial impact he was firing from all cylinders. When the wheels came off for the team and the momentum turned into a toxic environment he declined with them.
The talent is clearly there and he’s young. Kane is the only player in that team that seems to do well even when the team is down
What's the conditions of making his loan permanent?
He's having a pretty poor season, Paratici is gone and they don't look like making CL. Plus Leeds look worse by the week at the moment and could easily go down, meaning McKennie coming back too.

From the fighting cock forum
' Still think we are going to sign him as it won't be for 31 Or 37 million as we aren't getting CL. So DL will see it as a steal to get him for 25M...even though he will still be stymied everytime he plays because that saved 6 or 12M will not make him faster or more agile.
I was shocked by how many times he turned the ball back today. Just no confidence to run at anyone.'
I think Tuz discussed about this, too:
'Perhaps better in the middle rather than having no pace out wide. Who knows'

I remember and still agree, I think I would try to mould him into a mezzela and take inspiration from SMS, KDB and so on. This guy will never score goals but he can set 'em up and create opportunities. Still young though. ADM isn't quick either but a winger needs to be a bit more agile and quick on the feet (which ADM is). We have too many players that are not working, we can't afford adding another question mark to the puzzle.
Again, I agree, cash in. Ask Newcastle if they are interested.
