I know videos can sometimes mislead but if this is anything to go by, he looks like he could be some player. Gotta say out of the 3 signings he's by far the one who excites me most, especially if it's true that we've got some form of meaningful purchase option at the end.

We're the Arthur over ere!

I wonder which of the other 2 signings excites the OP more then, with this knowledge.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

They don't *necessarily* tell you anything but the more detailed ones you can find the better, which is why I liked this and he's certainly a style of player we have lacked for many years. That on top of the fact that he comes from a club with a brilliant scouting network who are renowned for young talent and he's the youngest out of the 3. It's a better indication by far than watching paint dry. For example, if you watch a Messi compilation on YouTube, it will be most likely bena very good video. The point being, it's not that videos tell you nothing it's just as we know there are a million and one other factors to consider than just a highlight reel. As I stated at the beginning of the original post, videos can be misleading and it may mean not much at all but I'd much rather watch a player in action than nothing.

The only impressive goals in that video were the ones at the 1 minute mark, 2 minute mark, 2:20 minute mark and 3:20 minute mark.
And all of those came from playing as right midfielder.
In his last year he has played only as center midfielder, we probably got him for that position. He can;t do those things in that position and hasn't played enough as a right midfielder to be considered a certainty there.

He wasn't a costly option this winter, but he's certainly not a certain win. We'll see how this goes

Why would Benfica sign the guy, then immediately sell him to another club without even looking at him?

We are doing Benfica a favour just like Man U and Chelsea by developing their players then sending them back.

A fine short term plan but hardly long term thinking to have 3 first teamers on loan and leaving end of the year, which we would have if this guy turned out be good and RLC didn’t get injured.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.
