This doesn't excuse his behaviour, but he is far from the finished article and has shown 'flashes' of quality. The longer he is with us, the better he will become.
A lot of young talents have question asked about their attitude. The biggest exception would be Messi, who is an ideal pro, and the greatest player on the planet.
Give him 2 years, and a bit of a run in the team and i think he will be top draw.
But when you've paid roughly £25m for one of Europe's brightest prospects then I think as supporters the least we can expect is discipline and professionalism.
The flashes of 'brilliance' are too far an few between and unfortunately are far outweighed by his poor attitude & lazy approach. The reason why Messi and players like Messi are so good is because they listen to the people of more experience such as managers, coaches and other pro's and learn from their experiences.
Until he learns to utilise his potential and show a bit more discipline and desire to play for us then I'm afraid he will be regarded as one of the biggest wastes of money the premier league has seen.
