IMO you’re right Mr D, might well improve further but the posters also right inasmuch as players suddenly growing taller and / or suddenly getting fast after the age of 22 isn’t something that see.
His tactical awareness, ball control, decision making etc. should improve but the fact is that he might actually be at his peak, plenty of players are lauded as future stars until they’re 22 but then sink without trace.
I’d also argue that him being not particularly fast and not particularly tall means that he doesn’t have “all the raw materials” / there are some raw materials that he’ll never have.
From the little that I’ve seen of him he can look fantastic when things are going right for him and lost & confused when they ain’t.
I’m trusting our recruitment team to go through his development stats with a fine toothed comb and not just cough up a big wedge on the basis of him being the latest hyped up player.
If we put a bid in then we’ll know that those who know better than us have looked through the data we can’t see and come to a value judgement that we’re not equipped to make.
Exciting times eh?
