The guy is fit and training though so he should be fine to be called off the bench pretty much immediately, its more how he adjusts to the intensity.I'm worried people's expectations for Moura will be too high initially.
The guy has played 72 minutes all season. We cannot expect the world of him. He's a wonderful player but he is nowhere near match fit and hasn't played for 6 weeks (for 8 minutes) and hasn't played more than 24 minutes in a single game this season.
He'll need a wide berth from all of us, this is primarily a signing with next season in mind.

Either way, I agree it's more about what he'll be capable of next season after having 6 months with the club before the season starts, rather than 6 days!
Not match fit though, and Prem match fit is different to Ligue 1 (especially for PSG) match fit. Talk about thrown in the deep end. He's a definitive upgrade on GKN though and as you say should get bench minutes. But it'd be unfair to expect his performances like last season immediately for us, especially in little cameos. It's quite possible he looks well off the pace initially.The guy is fit and training though so he should be fine to be called off the bench pretty much immediately, its more how he adjusts to the intensity.

Maybe Eriksen can set him up with whoever does his hair... I seem to remember him looking quite thin up top a few years back.25?

Eriksen's had a hair transplant if I recall correctly.Maybe Eriksen can set him up with whoever does his hair... I seem to remember him looking quite thin up top a few years back.
