I saw him play quite a few times for the youth team and he looked a good player . He was fast and strong and my main worry about his game was his finishing, he scored spectacular goals but not enough tap ins. It looks like he has put that right. He had a bad injury at United that kept him out for a long time, and when he got back Rossi and Campbell had arrived on the scene. I suppose it shows how much luck plays a part in football.
