He is a player with a lot of potential. He has pace and technical ability in bundles. He knows the way to goal but also isnt greedy, so he is a good partner for another striker. He also has the right people around him to keep him grounded. I know the guy he is in digs with and he is a decent guy so wont let Alex get ahead of himself. His only negative is his size. He isnt very tall at all and isnt particularly bulky, so he may struggle in the air. But we all know what Forestieri can do, so maybe he can copy him.
Hmmmmmm - I well remember Ashley Young on his debut and wondering how on earth a short, skinny, spindly, knobbly-kneed boy could ever become a professional footballer......
Not sure where you get the idea that he isn't very tall, 5 10 and 17. As for not being good in the air, have a look at the header in the Youth cup v Crawley........
Well when you consider that our back 3 with the exception of Doyley are all over 6ft plus both goal keepers are. Deeney and Ranegie are both over 6ft. They are the players he will be comming up against week in week out. So he is comparatively small. I didnt say he wasnt good in the air, I simply stated he may struggle in the air.
