You do wonder whether his absence has made us all think he's the Messiah (and yes, he's also a naughty boy), but you do feel that he's the sort of player that would be lovely to bring off the bench at the moment.
He’s a phenomenal talent, and an exceptional attitude to the game.
We’ve seen the first steps of him translating that talent into performances for us, but only the first few steps. But we can’t ignore that as a 17 year old, he did really really well in the championship. I try to ask the question, “if he wasn’t our player, would we want to sign him?” In his case it was a strong yes.
Will the injury hold him back, will he keep developing? Who knows. But he looks like one who would be great in the dressing room, and he’s got years ahead before he’s even considered a senior player.
