Really like him as a player but not entirely sure he's what we need. Happy to be proved wrong though.

Absolutely isn't a striker, he's something more akin to a Kaka imo - excellent quality on the ball, makes it all look so easy, but he's not been able to play his game at Atleti under Simeone & last night was the first time I've seen him play really well for the national side. Probably not a huge surprise that he alongside the others all managed to sync up well & not have to telegraph everything to Ronaldo.
I wouldn't be averse to signing him, especially given how poorly Sancho has settled - we need productive, consistent (oxymoron?) creative players in the squad. More is better than less no matter the priority for a top class no.9.
