How much time do we give him to get up to speed and get used to the PL? One season like our other +£100m players?

Depends, Salah scored in his very first match and had a barnstormer of a first season.
So…10 matches

I just hope the referees will not allow mad tackles on these wingers
I thought in the first half against Forest, the ref was biased against Munoz, he was giving fouls against Munoz when it shouldv’e been the other way round.
He’ll probably get more savvy and learn to roll around a bit

Iraola has said he is in the squad for Friday, but I doubt he will be starting. He may come on in the second half, so I give it until Saturday morning for some herbert to declare him an expensive flop.

Well he was expensive!
Lively in his first minutes, positive signs. Hopefully a full outing next week to give us proper showing
Right my concern with Barcola is that ever since the arrival of Khvara to PSG , he was relegated quite often to the role of an impact substitute.
That is when his top speed over 20 or 30 minutes really might not translate to his performance over 70 minutes as a starter.
I understand that PSG have an embarrassment in riches and can afford to let Barcola go.
Let’s see how it goes.
Thought PSG struggled without pace out wide yesterday vs Monaco.
On Barcola. Instantly I thought ´yep, he´s got it´. Was a slickness to how he moved and passed the ball. Could even have had an assist had Gakpo known Szobo was behind him to get on the end of the pass.
And with Gakpo on form there is less pressure on him to immediately deliver big. Good stuff.

A positive debut especially considering we struggled to get anything fluid going offensively in the 2nd half, the quality is there for all to see. Good ball control, nice give and go’s, nice tricky footwork, the show of pace, the closing down (of the last defender), good decision making when he arrived in the box (should’ve perhaps made something more of that).
A beautiful human being.
