Has the kid played in premier before?
Is he THAT good ?
Whats his injury record like ?
He's young does he have the stamina required for every week at the highest level?
I'm being devils advocate but this thread reads as though he is the 2nd coming, (I hope he is). Lets see how he beds in before we heap all this expectation on him. Sorry to pee on folks chips but really .....
No, he hasn't played in the Premier League, but they all have to start somewhere.
He got 6 goals and 4 assists in 26 games for a fairly average Charlton side, and 7 assists in 19 games for a resurgent Swansea team.
Given he played 45 games last season, I'd say yes, he has the stamina. And those 45 games averaged 86 minutes per game, so he was generally playing the full 90.
He might not be the answer, but he's got as good a chance of being decent as anyone else we have
