Igmane stil doing a lord lucan impression on matchdays 

It's absolutely mental that a young player Clement said was way behind the others, in training, isn't making the squad.  I blame Clement, Igamane, Bigrove and Tav!  And David Murray!

Shocker for Hearts btw.

 

Big come down after their huge 0-0 win against us.

Spending £1.5M of the very little we had to spend on a player who's nowhere near ready is a bit mental tho. 

 

But one for the future so mustn't grumble.

Like the attacking look of that team but game isn't played on paper.

 

Really hoping we can put together a good performance and result today.

Hopefully a shrewd piece of business when we sell him for 30million with add ons...

 

Joking aside, I think we will see this lad in bounce games and the B team before he gets pitched into the first XI.

Diamonde swapped with Dowell.

Guardiola famously rarely played Fernandinho for his first 6 months at City to allow him to adjust to demands at the club.

 

That's a grandiose example but it rings true, tactically Igamane will be learning things he's probably never heard of before. With all due respect to North African football.

 

Not to mention the physical demands.

 

Clement was burnt by players breaking down last season, you'd kill the kid by firing him in straight off the bat.
