But at this point you have to really wonder whether he is capable of fulfilling his potential in the long run, given his personality and an agent clearly desperate to get some pocket money from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Has any player ever been with the club six months after they said “We are looking at options”? He must be on his way out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good young player with lots of potential. I'm just not seeing this at all. I reckon he will end up at a bottom half club or in Spain or Italy in a few years time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted June 27 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27 it's a very odd situation for him. he's put all his eggs in 1 basket and it's not happened. wonder if he'll be up for a move elsewhere, but very much seems that he was desperate to go to chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not there yet at all and feels like he will just flitter between teams over the course of his career and will have great highlights reel but not the other 90%. I’ll probably be wrong but he’s not really convinced me that he’ll be a top end consistent striker… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 His main issue is the gap between his ego and his success so far as a player. Until those two things move at the same pace he is in danger of never finding a platform to demonstrate his ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he will end up at a bottom half club or in Spain or Italy in a few years time. He has the tools right to go to the top imo. His finishing is crazy and an absolute nuisance for goalkeepers. You don't get minutes as a 19/20 year old striker in the Premier League for a European club if you don't have something about you. If he actually played with intelligence as opposed to Chaosball he'd be incredible imo It's just that he's absolutely going to waste it (and probably will end up at a bottom half club somewhere) if he wants to leave for a new club every five minutes because he thinks Villa/Chelsea/etc. should have the 20 year old striker who doesn't even listen to his manager lead the line Edited June 27 by wishywashy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
