An interesting but not exciting signing.
He's not. Bissouma isn't involved in build up as much as Lokonga.He is the same profile as bissouma. Just way younger and experienced. And I didn’t even know either was black. I don’t see colours
I'm sorry but I'm still annoyed about that preseason game. Azeez not going to Scotland hurt me. I hope he's on the plane to America, he needs to take Elneny's minutes. A midfield of Partey, Locatelli, Lokonga and Azeez would make our midfield a bit more respectful.He's a bit different, relies more on his passing and positioning compared to the more swashbuckling Wilshere. They both are quite aggressive however and Patino is capable of evading challenges in a similar way to Wilshere. I think Wilshere was a more talented dribbler and a better attacking player. Patino will most likely be more suited to being a #6 than Wilshere was. It's because of his gait and that they're both lefties, it makes him look a lot like Wilshere. Just like ESR & De Bruyne comparisons - ESR is actually quite different to De Bruyne in playstyle but they have the same gait on and off the ball so they look very similar.
Azeez on the other hand is different. He's got literally everything - the physique, the stamina, the technique (passing, dribbling, shooting, first touch all strengths of his), the showmanship. It's all about him being consistent and sustaining his influence on games. Sometimes it seems he's playing at 60% rather than closer tot his best. Breaking into our midfield will be all about if he can sustain good performances over a long spell. He's improved a lot last season but I think in terms of where we would like to be, he's probably not quite at the level we need him to be just yet - even if his current level is comparable and perhaps even more desirable to what we have starting for the first XI right now.

Strange number, does it explain a reason?
Announcement probably today and he chosen number 48.

Can we just hurry up so we can focus on the real signings. No chance this guy has any serious contribution next season
It looks to me like Patino has grown a lot recently potentially taking away a bit of acceleration in small spaces/ short distances. Obviously he'll fill out too but might he need to remodel his game a little?He's a bit different, relies more on his passing and positioning compared to the more swashbuckling Wilshere.

No way are we buying him to send him and Willock on loan while keeping Elne......never mindWe are sending him out on loan I hear , happy days
I don't think he will need to change too much about his game - he is still capable of protecting the ball pretty well and doesn't rely on his dribbling too much. Maybe he'll start a little deeper and develop into more of a Carrick-type player but ultimately he plays in a similar fashion anyway. I've read that Patino's been on a gym program to increase his power so they definitely seem to be moving him towards a more deeper-lying role.It looks to me like Patino has grown a lot recently potentially taking away a bit of acceleration in small spaces/ short distances.

I'm an enormous fan of Azeez, it seems to me he has the tools to excel in any midfield role, he has that special ability to feel where the pressure's coming from and pierce it as well as the silk and execution to realise it. I'd be heart broken if he doesn't get his chances at this club.
Really don't know what the holdup is here. Quarantine period is over, and deal is actually done. 20M + bonusses+ % on sale.
