Really like this signing. Looks dynamic, plays with both feet, vision, can drive with the ball. Produced some good crosses from both sides of the park. Good age and attitude so good potential if he gets used to the pace of the game.
Really feel we need some pace in front three positions to stretch the field and give this lad and Mooy some targets to hit with the ⚽️!

I like how young all these signings have been. DW is really building something that could last for a long time.

Are all these Dutch players being attracted by Canalside?

I don't expect him to be holding anything as he is already wearing the damn shirt. That's my whole point. Is it really that hard to understand? Maybe this started as a means for the new player to show his name and number on the rear of the shirt. Photographers have forgotten this along the way and haven’t told the players to turn it round? Just a theory That would make a lot of sense. Also show front and back of the shirt

Looks a bit like Rashford in that picture. Can't say I've ever seen him play, but often those are often successful Wagner type signings

Clearly coming here to be in the Premier League but I have no complaints. Looks like he has a good eye for a pass.
Interesting he mentioned this all happened at the end of May.

Never seen either play but compare this guy to James Maddison. Similar age, similar experience. One goes for 20 million the other 2.6milliion. Only difference really one is English. Looks a promising signing but time will tell

Looks a promising signing but time will tell Agree. This kids next step would normally be to go to PSV and get some European experience, much like Limbombe going from NEC Nijmegen to Club Brugge for €2.5m and now being sold for €13m. This is good business, identifying an upcoming player who you think can make that step and not having to fork out an extra €10m. Personally, I think DW develops midfielders and defensive players more than attacking players, so I have a good feeling about Bacuna.

Jonny Hogg was first on the teamsheet towards the end of last season. Can Bacuna play on the wing?

I think he’s more likely competition for Mooy, he’s mobile and can pick out a pass but has the ability and desire to snap into tackles. He does look likely to give free kicks away though and so would be a bit of a liability in Hogg’s deep lying position. Williams is a better fit for Hogg’s role even though you lose his powerful runs through the middle. I do wonder where this leaves Billing, but maybe this guy is going to be really eased in over time.

I’d have loved to have signed Maddison , great player in the making I think that is the key statement. We can't afford £20 mill for a player who may prove to be great in the Premier League but we can afford £3 mill. Leicester can afford to spend that amount on a player unproven at the next level. I would also loved to have signed Maddison but we are not in a position to gamble £20 million. I think the comparison just comes from age, position, both under 21 International and style of play.

I’d have loved to have signed Maddison , great player in the making I wasn’t really comparing playing skills as I haven’t seen either play, not much chance in Adelaide. but and I haven’t bothered to check, Maddison isn’t anymore experienced in playing terms having only played in the championship and Scotland. It could be argued this kid has played more at a higher standard. Not saying Maddison isn’t any good just 18million more!!!

Mooy played a lot of football last season and seemed to lose his edge. If this lad takes some of the pressure off Mooy and can offer fresh legs from the bench it could really improve our midfield.

At 20 he's an investment signing, I will be interested to see how he goes. No expectations but trust in our policy of signing players in this mould.
That said, I think some proven quality might be required to. Plenty of time yet.

Could be similar to Sabiri signing, as you say Sabiri seems to have fallen by the wayside by the looks of things, hopefully he can get a move out to league 1/lower champ side and make an impact. Looks to have it in him from the reserve highlights I've seen and the limited cameos he had last season.

I like that we are making young hungry signings who hopefully come play full of confidence and no fear.
“Juninho bacuna” that is a proper footballers name!

I agree that town cannot pay 20 sum million on one player like others do and they have to spread the money around. Maddison I think would have been a good one to get but the price was too much for our budget. we move on and welcome the new lad to the club

Bacuna already has 83 appearances in the Dutch 1st division by 20yo. When we picked up Sabiri, he has a handful for Bundesliga 2. appearances and was far from the end product. I’d like to see Sabiri get a full season in the Championship this year and be ready to come back and fight for a first team place next year. I expect Bacuna to be fighting for first team appearances with Billing and Williams.

This is a good point. Some players manage to keep it up all season but, either its just the way he is or it is down to the mileage he clocks playing internationals, Mooy doesn't look like that sort of player. There are times when he really looked like he could do with a rest and when he has missed games has come back looking better for it pretty much every time.

Looks to have it in him from the reserve highlights I've seen and the limited cameos he had last season. Sabiri could do with less time posing for Instagram in his bling and designerware like a billy big b*llocks, until he's actually become a proven top class footballer. Really have not warmed to the guy, unlike the rest of our imports.

Doesn't take prisoners. Replacement for Deano? Looks more like the long awaited replacement for Oscar Gobern to me.
