To be fair to the lad I don't think any of us know if he's any good or not. Barely saw him
If he couldn't get into our mediocre L1 team a year ago, it's hard to believe he will be up to playing in the Championship a year later.
He's certainly a strange one. He's started one game and come on as sub in another half a dozen or so Serie A matches for Udinese who paid something like £700,000 for him. Coincidentally, he's actually 21 today so when he came to us he was still only 19 when he joined us and the man that thought it best for him to return to Italy was sacked himself a matter of weeks later by us and hasn't found a manager's position since.

He's played 9 games in Serie A for Udinese this season eho are currently 9th in the division. I reckon he could actually handle League 1
Didn't get a fair chance with us
We signed him to play RCB in a 3, sacked the manager and got a new one that played a 4. He did ok in a couple of games at right back but to me didn’t look physically ready for league 1 to be a centre back in a 4. Ironically, after he went back, we sacked another manager and ended up playing a back 3 again!
Don’t think we can judge him on the mess that was us last season, and if he’s spent the last year growing and getting stronger he might be alright
