Think his intelligence is a lot more amazing than I thought it would be. His decision making is already elite level, and his aggression is superb. And those silky silky runs. Silk Cut Carvalho.

I'm a bit confused that so many people are surprised by his talent?

It's not like it wasn't on display week in and week out last season in the Championship - so much so that Klopp wanted him in January. And then the countless videos made once we were linked/getting him - hard not to know about his talent.

I know there is a transition - ok - a monumental leap - from Championship to PL - but this kid has it.

If he had 3-4 years on his contract, he would have cost £30+ million. He’s an amazing talent. Think he’ll play a big part this season and might surprise a few.

What a talent he is, just oozes class when he's on the ball, RB couldn't handle him, loved that tussle he had with Laimer.

Sadio Mk2

He doesn't have Sadio's pace and probably not his strength.

The more accurate comparison is - for what it's worth - Coutiho. He is probably quicker than Coutinho as well.

Early signs are promising.

Was thinking of immediate replacement. Thought he has some speed. But yes not as strong but trickier.
Diaz is stronger but not as tricky.

We are actually quite well covered in LW considering thats where Jota plays best and Darwin can play that too

Id assume we will try Carvalho out in a bunch of positions this season to be honest as hes very versatile and can play LW, RW, AM and CM

AM being his best but not something we regularly play

Since we have been linked with him and since we have signed him I have maintained that he will be a genuine option next season. I havent watched the pre season games but i saw him lots at Fulham and he is an incredible talent.

The hard thing is going to be getting him on the field.

I went to Craven Cottage half a dozen times last year, and he stood out every single time, in different positions, particularly centrally though. He's a diamond of a player.

He's definitely got the Coutinho vibes about him - the way he always picks up the ball on the half turn, already heading towards goal; and how comfortable he is in the left-sided half space of the opposition's half. It's one area that opposition defences don't know how to defend against - do you stick your full back on him, or hope your defensive midfielder can track him, or what?  It's the same dilemma that teams are facing on the opposite side with Trent, and gives us another option.  Ball carrying and passing both excellent, touch is beautiful, and I don't think decision making will be a problem.  Yeah, I think I'm going to like him.

Think he's faster than Phil though  :)

Plenty of chances with number of games and 5 subs.

Yes but he has an insane amount of talent ahead of him. Jota and Diaz will be vying for that position and even if you class Jota as a striker then that position has Nunez, Firmino and Jota.

He will get chances, he is a genuine option, but its going to be very difficult.

Of people that have watched him, what is his best position? I see a lot of comparison with Coutinho, but does he play a bit differently? In that, could he play on the left like he did last night, and it would "fit"? Loved Coutinho, but he seemed to thrive more in the 10-role, which we moved away from
