Looks like a top player in the making. Is he from the academy?
He's not the only player to have stepped up earlier or later than we all thought.
Fofana, Mendy and Albrighton can be added to that list, they really stepped up and easily filled the missing places of regular first teamers and even carried Tilly as well of course.
How many other teams ( with a limited squad ) could have had so many injuries and carried a player as well doing it so well !

No, we signed him from Luton as a very promising player. Has massively improved this season though.
Amazingly he’s probably our 3rd choice full back behind Pereira and Castagne which is incredible!
Last season he looked kind of like a Championship player getting used to the PL but this season he has definitely improved its clear. At worst a great utility player at best can definitely be a regular Pl started quality. Doesn’t do a lot bad, maybe doesn’t do a lot standout but that can already take a full back fat if they’re progressive and assertive
He’ll be a future Albrighton, managers will think they can do better than him, sign someone and then realise they can’t.
Won't be long until teams like Chelsea will be offering £80 million for him, this time we won't want him to leave unlike previous players in the last couple of years.

Would politely disagree - I think he has stood out a lot this season. He and Albrighton, at different ends of the spectrum, have been superb and two of our best players this season.
The most impressive thing is his age and progression. He was touted as the best young full back outside of the PL when we signed him and, already, is growing into one of the best full backs in the league.
A fully fit and in-form Ricardo walks back in for me, but I have to say, I’d probably pick Justin over Castagne or, at least, it would be extremely close.
Agree that some teams will look to come in with a ridiculous offer at some point over the next year or so if he continues. I continue to be puzzled by other teams not looking at our transfer ethos and scouting rather than individual players when they shine for us eventually - but then, the teams that come in for the likes of Mahrez Kante et al, are usually ones who have less interest in developing players, so I guess it makes sense
Player Crush James Justin - neah defo Ashleigh Plumptre for me
She’s a close second MITLBC
To be honest given your statement at the beginning of your second paragraph I'm a little worried about the ease in which you've shifted from Fuchs to Justin. It makes me feel a little insecure.
Just keep an eye on your bunny rabbit Mersey - as I am keeping an eye on you!
I’ll never leave you Joby. Our bunny will always be safe in my hands.
He says that Joby, but in my mind I figure that if he can be turned from Fuchs to Justin then he can also be turned from Jobies to Dungeons.
How very dare you Dunge. I cannot be bought!
Out of interest though, how much would you be offering for me to become your biggest fan? Purely for research purposes.
If you’re not careful Mersey you might come home to find your Bunny boiling away in a pot of water!!
Fear not; I have no plans for bribery. My plan is more along the lines of being the JA606 version of a stalwart full back to Joby's Ritchie De Laet.

Don’t listen to him Mersey. If I’m De Laet then he is Tony Spearing!
I’m Youri Tielemans to his Andy King.

Ha!! It’s a bit like being the best lunatic in the asylum!
Oh this is so hard.
I really do hate De Laet, but also like True Blue I really appreciate the brilliance of Tielemans.
Oh what to do.
Who is Ali Mauchlin vs Mark North?!
I guess it might come down to the trump cards of Peter Taylor and Junior Lewis!!!

How dare Joby mention them together, more Like
