He’s great. Watching game yesterday I was worried whether RLC might come and bite us. They seemed to play him in that link role rather than more attacking left side role we gave him and I have to say I’d have Jairo all day long comparing the two. If we are going to play a more progressive game then he’s the one to build off. The simplicity and weight of pass and then also use of his size to win possession and block. I think you have to give credit to coaching team and Roy for getting him premier league ready. They have always spoken well of him. Get him on a long contract rapid. Could save us 40m

Explains a bit why it has taken so long to get him into the team.

Thanks for this EddieMac - interesting. I've been a fan of his for a while and I'm hoping to see him become a mainstay of our midfield.
However, my fear is that one of the bigger teams in the PL (or in Europe) will come sniffing round for him in January or at the end of the season and our American "investors" will want to pocket a tidy profit.
