I think they took him because he was basically "for free" (remember it was before COVID) and would serve for the asian market (yes, clubs not (only) think about titles, but about profit). While Jota hit properly and quickly - he's right on the same level as our Big 3 - Minamino didn't. He looks all try, but little else. I'd prefer Shaq over him, I know JĆ¼rgen prefers him over Shaq because he's more active on the pitch.
I say keep him and give him time. But he's a good example of a player that looks like a superstar on a weaker team, just to look mediocre on a better one.
