Was wondering what people's verdicts were on his half-hour cameo vs Lavatory Town? And also Marti's decision to insert him in midfield (and whether this was a one-off)? Will/could/should he be a starter going forwards, and if so, who gives way? Is there likely to be any case for him displacing Varane permanently? If he's as good as we hear, might he instead be competing strongly with JCS for a centre back berth? (He's only 21, but, amazingly, he's played almost as many games as Jake, who is six years older.) Finally, I'm aware he's a loanee, and we're unlikely to be in a position to do a deal for him in June, but who knows? If Saints come down as looks inevitable, and we have a good second half of the season, stranger things have happened. [Post edited 7 Jan 17:36]
