His workrate is very impressive. Probably had to do everything at London! When he adapts to playing with more quality players around him, adds a few offloads, he'll be a right handfull

It normally takes 5 or 6 games to get familiar with team plays and structure, Vea has settled in quickly and the ability to do long minutes is a bonus.
He looks quite durable, his biggest weakness is watching the defender coming in when he is receiving the pass, this was something Burns noticed a few times and got told about it when dropping the ball.
Vea, Greenwood, LMS and Sav is a pretty strong backrow forward option, i,m sure when some of these get more game time we will reap the benefits.

I was a bit unsure when we signed him. Thought he may have just stood out playing in a poor team, but he looks a really strong, hard-working player. Couldn't ask for anything more really.

I think the biggest compliment you could pay Vea is that the void left by Soliola hasn't really been noticeable.

Vea and Greenwood as a combination work very well together and there's not many 2nd rowers I'd swap them for in SL right now.

He's been much better than I thought he'd be tbh . He still has work to do as Pete suggested around his defence but could be really important for us over the next few years. He needs to get that hair cut though!

Feels like Til has been around for years, which says a lot about him. Where in the world is he from?

He has quite beautiful flowing locks, tho.

Definitely uses high-quality shampoo.

OGX Brazillian Keratin shampoo I believe, retailing at Boots I concur brings a new dimension to the on field hair appeal
