I don't know very much about Odobert and VK's other signings, but they all seem very fast , talented and brilliant with the ball.
Hope this lad is the same.
Welcome to Burnley.

He's made so many signings that I've never heard of but in general they've done really well for us. Hopefully this will be another astute signing.

I have to say that Koleosho looks a very exciting talent and if Wilson is anything like him, we are going to witness some 'samba' footy in the coming years. 👍

Koleosho had a good little spell in the first half. Some task for him too, debuting against City.

Looks a very talented lad. Always a good sign that he’s played for all the French age group sides, especially the u20s when he is 18!!!!

Understandably, he tired towards the end but he showed no fear and looked extremely comfortable with the ball at his feet.

Incredible to think he is 18 and to make his debut like that against the best team in the world. Not sure whether the line up is what we will normally see or whether it was to test these players against the best as it was a free hit. We’ve certainly an eye for good young players and hopefully this is another one.

Doesn't appear his English is good given that he did his interview in French. That won't matter in our squad and the manager speaks fluent French.

Yes, he looked like he was struggling with his lines in the reveal video. It's a massive task to learn a new language but hopefully there will be plenty of support for the lad.

Things like this really make it difficult to settle and hopefully the fans are patient with the new signings. We're started to see with Foster that these things can take time.

A couple of last year's signings did their initial interviews in their native language. It's just not a problem in any way now given the different nationalities in dressing rooms.

Not only that, but what people also fail to realise is that it was actually his first ever professional career start for any club. All of his appearances in Italy came off the bench.

My heads only recently stopped spinning from all last years signings.
And they just keep coming.
Welcome, Odobert.

It's workable but it's not ideal. There can be infinite languages in the dressing room but there needs to be a single unifying language and they all need at least a basic grasp.

It's more to do with cohesion and team spirit. They can't all be best buddies but imagine, just as an illustrative example, that Weghorst spoke no English when he signed and the only person we had who could speak Dutch was ... Connor Roberts.

Spain (or Catalunya!) Off the bench for Espanyol.

Thought he did well all things considered.

Any idea of fee? He sounds exciting and has had some experience at a high level. Welcome

Just watched a couple of utube clips, looks equally comfortable on either foot. Clips of him on both wings and up front. Some composed finishes. Looks a tricky customer.

It made me laugh whenever Beyer was interviewed last season.
He speaks English better than Barnes does.

Without a doubt. Beyer is funny too because occasionally he can't think of one particular word in English and always apologises for it.

Won’t be a problem at all for the lad.

He’ll have the best support around him.

It probably won't be "a problem" as such but it is something he'll need to work hard at. He'll also have to adjust to new surroundings, new culture, new home and new team mates.

Don't doubt he'll have good support though.

Not necessarily. Flemish and French don't necessarily mix. Kompany's team talks at Anderlecht were in English.

I would expect most if not all Belgians to speak English. For that matter, Odobert might speak adequate English for daily purposes while not having the confidence to speak it on TV.

Looks like another good young one from the customary YouTube video. Quick, two footed, tricky and willing to take players on both right, left and centre. Nice finishing and assisting too. Our wing play this season will be one of the most exciting in the premier league. Incredible the talent you can find when you know what your looking for and have the ability to improve players with top level coaching.
