Was watching on several occasions last season (Cardiff). Cool and calm with clearly a football-brain (quite opposite Schlupp) - no idea why he is not in our starting 11. Like Max Meyer who came on Saturday and provided Zaha with the clever pass that in the end led to 2-0.
At least give him a chance, Roy and not only 5 from 85th min.

100% agree. Not only the Colchester game but also the first U23 game where he looked ok but not any better than what we have already. Probably right in that he is not showing it in training.

Very much doubt it. If he played 10-14 games and we didn't want him then we would just drop him. If we wanted to keep him, then it wouldn't matter if he played more. We will be paying his salary so if Roy wants to use him thats fine.

He must be well chuffed that he decided to join us!

If we were bottom of the table and struggling then I could argue with Roy but we are doing well so there can be no complaints.

Every manager has a system and certain players fit that system and it is unfortunate that Meyer and Camarassa don't fit in, but with regards to Meyer he has had plenty of minutes on the pitch and has shown absolutely nothing to say he should be a starter.

Until the player is seen in training, it’s always going to be a gamble with any signing. Roy obviously doesn’t think he can improve his team, whereas Cahill he knew from England and starts.

Well, did not get many minutes vs Norwich, but it was his clever pass that allowed Wilf to go on his amazing run that Andros ended with 2-0.
But Meyer and Camarassa are way ahead for Schlupp in my opinion. Guys with football brains knowing how to use it.

While Roy is manager it’s unlikely we’ll see too much of Camarasa or Meyer.
Meyer has tried to adapt to Roy’s system on his opportunities but has not set the world alight.
Camarasa had some success in the Premier League and looks more likely to handle the physical aspects.
However, he has Luka, Mcarthur, Kouyate, McCarthy , Schlupp and dare I say Meyer ahead of him so it would take a major injury crisis from him to get an opportunity.
Perhaps a case of the right player at the wrong time?

Agree regarding Colchester. Team of fringe players , with their chance to show what they had, none of them even looked interested or put in the required effort. A massive opportunity to players that never played on the weekend at old trafford, inc Townsend, Benteke, Meyer and Camarasa. All toilet.

It's not at all. He went forward with a clever pass instead of going backwards as we had been all half. It's the kind of thing he can do and we need to see more.
