I know it is hard to judge as I have only seen him in the highlights on the Club site, and only very occasionally in the last few months.

However I do think he reminds me of Berahino so much, except nowhere near the same talent at this age. Always looks overweight to me and the impression you get is he thinks he is a lot better than he is.

I do think the club’s record of losing our better talent though is very poor. Something definitely seems to go well in their latter years before getting a full professional contract. I suspect it is down to several things, some the clubs fault and some the players/agents.

Everyone looks to see our kids given a chance, including me, but no one has a god given right to succeed at the professional level and I just wonder why so many of ours don’t go to the final step.
