So full debut against Palace? Not sure that would be advisable...I agree, although I would expect him still on the bench for the Leeds game
I would like to see him used as a sub against Liverpool for last 15 mins, then have him on bench for Leeds and Palace. Then gradually increase the work load. No point rushing, or we may never see him again this side Xmas.
He said 2 hours ago in Cadena Ser (radio station in Spain) that he won't probably play this weekend against Leicester, but he can play against Liverpool or at least that's what he wants.
And this is the rest of the chat he had with Pedro Morata &Co:
ser-deportivos-progr-15-9-2011-audios (Min. 29:00)
- Gus called him 3 weeks before he signed and they talked 3-4 times and finally Poyet convinced him to go to Brighton that last week.
- He's very happy in Brighton until now; he likes Gus' way of training etc; and everybody has treated him very well and helped him, specially Iñigo.
- He confirms that Gus wants him to play in every attacking position if needed and most likely as second striker, because the team doesn't need another LW atm.
- He rejected offers from Champions League sides Olympiakos and Villarreal (coach Garrido wanted him and they were very close to agreed) and other Premier League, la Liga, Turkish and Russian teams. Finally the interest showed by Gus and the visit to the club and stadium was what convinced him to accept Brighton's offer.
- Gus wanted him to sign more than only 1 season but he wanted to try and see if things go well and he can adapt to English football.

He'll come on and DESTORY Leicester.
Don't think there's any chance it'll be Leicester. My gut instinct says bench v Liverpool.
Unused sub at Liverpool I'd imagine, will have to wait a while for his league debut.
