    He's a young lad who's been overhyped.

    Very good footballer in there mind.

    The press do it with any young kid Ina "big team". They are desperate to call the next big thing. Look at all the young England players they describe as world beaters. They are good young players. Very few are world beaters.

    He has enormous potential and is already a more than capable player.

    He certainly struggled in that 3-5-2 formation but as an out and out winger he is currently a good player but looks like he will become a top one soon enough. I would say he needs to bulk up a bit though.

    The kid is absolutely unreal, his quick feet and his close control are second to none. He doesn't have a calm head to finish a move off but that'll come with experience.

    He's going to be world class.

    He certainly has talent, can't deny that. He'll be as big of a success as he wants to be, only he is the way of becoming a top player

    What I'm saying Terry is that he'd been over-hyped by the media and isn't world class at the moment, which you seem to agree with.

    I'd have thought a player with his obvious skill, who's coming up to 20, would be imposing himself a bit more.

    I really like his style, I just hope he cuts out the ludicrous diving.

    **** sake Smug I hoped we could have disagreed for a little bit longer!

    He's really making efforts with the diving by the looks of it, he's mastered the triple pike reverse tuck. In his defence he was stamped on twice last season so I'd prefer him to take a dive than get crunched off a sour little **** like Meyler or Reither.

    He's technically outstanding but I fear without a Keane-type leader or a Scholes-type mentor he's not going to have the same quality of coaching and mentoring that we'd have maybe seen under Fergie.

    He looks exciting though, and that's really a consensus among our fans, it's been a while since we had this buzz about one we've fetched through from the youth.

    It amused me when people were calling his volley against Sunderland a wonder goal .... it was a decent strike that was built up by the media.

    It was a great strike, it wasn't a wonder goal though. He's got better than that in his locker, hopefully you'll find out this weekend!

    Was reading your 'dilemma' on the other thread, My mrs has spoiled my plans this weekend, turns out I'm staying in for two appointments, one to tell me how much blinds will cost and the other will carpet my stairs.

    For some reason she "Didn't want them to clash" so she booked one for 12 and the other for 4:30... which works perfectly for the all day drinks and BBQ in Didsbury that I've been invited to.

    She's lucky the match is on Sunday, ffs I'll be turning up at a party 5 hours late, the only sober one. Still I've barely touched a drop this year so shouldn't take me long to catch up!

    I call her my Mrs, she's actually my fiance. She's going away on Saturday picking ****ing bridesmaid dresses, selfish cow, could have let the carpet man in first and let me go to the BBQ!

    I really like him, would be better served playing as a winger mind & not a wing back
