If anything he's under hyped and doesn't get the credit he deserves. Look at west ham showing off poyet with limited league experience and a very similar England pedigree. If we signed jfc now from a league rival. An England U21 international, this board would go into meltdown.
Sure he's not a world beater yet. With every game he plays he'll get better and better. I know who I'd play if it was a choice of him or crofts. Jfc should be playing the attacking role as he does for England.
But he's played plenty, and doesn't appear to be getting better.
