I'm not sure that Ricky will be at full value until he has got a few games in & proven himself again. For me he stays one more season anyway. 

Yeah I was thinking this but then as his contract winds down so does his value. Hopefully we won't need to sell at the end of the season. But that depends on how well we finish.

Play Pereira flog him off to PSG for a good 80 million then play Justin. Will be just as good eventually.

Justin is what we hoped Gray would turn out to be. Cheap, bought from the lower lesgues, young, English etc. 

To be fair, Gray was cheap, bought from the lower leagues, young and English. The difference is that JJ is good at football 😉

That is probably close to what will happen unless we secure Champions League.

Echo what some others have said, player of the season so far for me. His versatility has been priceless when we've been down to the bare-bones in defense. RWB, RB, LB, LWB, CB - pretty sure he's done it all and never looked out of place. Only 22 as well, what a signing.

This and the fact he’s played every single minute in the league for us, and played the full game in 5/6 EL games. Class professional.

And he lost his Dad this year. Taking a page out of Opta, but... Warrior!

What a break-through season he is having.

 

 

When we signed him i didn’t imagine he would become this good this soon. Part of that has been thrown at him and it was possibly a sink or swim situation.

 

 

He has most definitely swam like an olympic champion.

[winteriscoming]

Superb again. His versatility is outstanding. How he maintains this consistency is beyond me. Long may it continue.

all the slaggin off when he first came in. what a player now

[Bezzanator89]

Undroppable at the moment. 

 

Yes, it is a dangerous word that can jinx a player's good run of performances but entirely merited by JJ's current performances. What a signing he is turning out to be. Thanks Luton.

[AKCJ]

I think he's made that position his own.

 

I would look to bring in Ricardo as the right winger. Similar role to Albrighton yesterday where we can easily transition into 3-4-3.

 

Cannot believe how good he's gotten over such a small space of time. He still has the odd off day like the Everton game for instance but on the whole he's been sensational this season and is surely in Southgate's plans for the next England squad.

Because it’s easy to do it. Everyone assumes he’ll be shite coming from that level, but like Vardy before him, he’s not looked out of place at all.

 

I personally think when Ricardos back, you cannot drop Justin. Play Riccy more advanced but Justin in a back 3 is more than solid enough.

Yes, incredibly naive and dare I say downright stupid, for people to think any player can come in from League One to The PL and hit the ground running. 

 

I like these kind of transfers because talented lower league players can have great potential and represent great value but it is obvious that these kind of players will need to develop and therefore require patience.  I'm sure that JJ was never intended to play week in, week out so soon.

 

Justin's development has been accelerated due to injuries and he taken his chance with both hands.  He looks a great player.

I don't want to see Ricardo go but if we sell a big name at the every season Ricardo is the only player who has a ready made replacement.

I think their strengths are very different though.
Ricardo is probably the best ball carrier in the team, along with Maddison, and is brilliant at cutting inside, overlapping and even crossing. Justin's strengths are his amazing speed, stamina, versatility and mentality. He's showing us this season that he's very capable of supporting the attacks down the channels (Brighton was a high point). If he can also develop into a regular goal threat, phwoah, then we have a helluva player here.

Very encouraged by his form and excited about his further development

Guessing it's this one even with the poor quality

Where's Robertson on this? Surely he's the gold standard right now?

[Koke]

Forest had a £1m offer rejected a year before we signed him. Good for him he didn't go to that dead club.

[martyn]

I was very much against any suggestion of Ricardo playing further up the pitch, but Justin's improvement now makes that a possibility to explore as it is no longer a given that Ricardo walks back into the team as a full back, especially following a long term injury where he'll take time getting up to his level.

[Ric Flair]

This lad honestly should get player of the month for December.

I understand your point.

 

Personally I didn’t see Justin being the type of footballer that he’s shown he is so far this season.

 

He looked steady defensively and average going forward, he’s proved me wrong.

 

I never called him out to be poor though and having an opinion on a player after a full season at the club is justified, although those opinions can clearly be wrong.

"slagging off" new players is virtually a right of passage on FT. 

Even Ricardo and Soyuncu got slagged off in their first few games. It's getting to the point, we should be worried if a new player isn't slagged off.

Read the match threads of the first 4-5 league games this season and he got slated loads.
