He’s obviously very talented and stands out on an under 21’s pitch but I haven’t seen enough of him (in terms of his output) to be convinced we can rely on him to be in the top 3 midfielders picked to play in the Premier League. It’s that vicious cycle of you need to be given opportunities to gain experience when you don’t have much experience, but I don’t think any of us were blown away by cameos this season.
I see more direct players who know their role and know what they want to be in Ramsey and even Archer. I don’t yet know what Carney is, and perhaps he doesn’t either.
He has great feet and skill, and probably wants to play in a more attacking role, but where I struggle with him a little is for a big lad he is weak. That’s not to say turn him him into a defensive unit, but you will always need to battle for balls wherever you are on the pitch.
I’ve posted before, I’m all for the loan option as above but the smoke from the reports seems to suggest he thinks he’s above that.
