I loved how after the final, ITV asked about his form this season, and he said he was shit, granted he hasn't been sublime but still scored about 10 goals, I can't wait to see him when he is average.

Probably because his raw talent and skill is up there with the best footballers on the planet. With games and guidance he will improve.
It's his attitude (both on and off the pitch) his adaptation to a new country, new culture and new league that are holding him back. (Not to mention his persistent knee injury that robbed him of a few months of experience.)
Don't forget he is 18 months younger than Daniel Sturridge. He has hit 10 goals for us this year. He can only get better, and as it stands he is a very good player with bags of potential.
Starts: 26 Goals: 10 If he was an academy graduate EVERYBODY on here would be pleading for more patience with him and let him develop.
Just my opinion but i dont see him being at city when / if he fullfills his potential .Doyaldinho said:pips said:On the few occasions hes actually turned out for us hes defo been hit & miss it seems to me like the majority of fans who think hes the dogs are the younger ones.

If you just watched the games he's played in and only focus on the ball he may well have looked average for most of the season. However, I've made a point of watching him closely as I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and he is supremely talented. His first touch, close control, vision and positioning are all incredible, combine these with his finishing ability, his pace and his physicality and he is the most naturally talented footballer I've ever seen in person.
He had a difficult upbringing and then at the age of just 20 he moved to a foreign country, to live by himself and to play in a different league with a completely different style of football. He's just a kid, a very rich kid, living away from his parents, I'd hazard a guess that most people in his situation would have done stupid things, probably more stupid than him. However, over the course of the season we've seen him mature dramatically, this will only continue and with Mancini's guidance he'll realise his potential and reach it.

I reckon that is potentially going to be a bit of a problem for us in general over the next few years. How many times have Real Madrid cherry picked quality players from big European clubs despite them already being on big wages and picking up medals?
We're going to have to win plenty of trophies quickly!
