I know I was being a bit excessive yday saying he's s**t

But I really don't think he's got it in him. He runs around and sort of looks the part, so he might give the impression to the occasional observer that he's good and perhaps its not quite his day ... but it just never is his day - the shot is always 'just over', his touch 'not quite'good enough or the chance slightly hurried or blah blah blah something blah .... but it never happens. Maybe at a different club, but I don't see it - ultimately looks 'manufactured' to me, and people unwilling to accept they've backed the wrong bloke

        I think if he stays fit and gets a proper go at it he may surprise a few (n/m) (Other Football) - loz, Oct 1, 10:47:12
        
        I’d heard he’d played nearly 80 times in the first team. That’s a proper go imho. (n/m) (Other Football) - Augustus Pablo, Oct 1, 10:55:01
