While I agree and hope you're right, we only have to look back a few years in our own history to players like John Bostock and Dean Parrett for kids who used their physical advantages in youth to great effect, but who completely stalled when they got to play with the big boys.This kid looks class.
I can totally see why scouts might think he’d be on our bench next season. He has the size and physicality that many kids don’t have until their early 20s.
No need for unnecessary pressure, of course, but sometimes you can just see it when a kid has the lot. Same with Bale when he was at Saints.
Cautious optimism is the way to go. I really hope he can turn into a special player.
