Someone got a picture with JP Gbamin in a Sainsbury's.

Apparently he asked him how he was and he said he was " ready to play ".

Tbh that would be one of the few good things to come out of this footballing wise if he can get a few mins before we even start pre season.

I believe we got him for £22.5 million
I spoke to one of my German colleagues who said Gbamin is quite versatile, from playing CB to then playing in midfield as a screen across the back four but also further forward like a number 8 was used in different midfield roles at Mainz
He’s not like Gueye who covers every blade of grass hunting down whoever has the ball. Which could have positives but from what I was told sounds a much better passer and better in possession
They said he was comfortable and confident on the ball and would get attacks started with strides out from the back and looks to move the ball forward so an upgrade on the way Schneiderlin plays when in that role. Will have to see how his passing compares to Gomes but I was told he would look to slot balls through as well as hit the diagonals. Will also have to see how the two play together. From what my colleague said it sounds more like a player who would anchor a midfield three whereas Carlo seems to favour two in the middle.
My colleague did also say Mainz were rubbish keeping possession so would’ve fitted right in to a Marco Silva side, hopefully Ancelotti will raise Gbamin’s game.
One of the Ed’s may know more, or contradict what I’ve been told lol 😂.
