Reasonable assumption...but us oldies always think with our brains and not our feet....For sure he looks a very skillful player with fantastic potential. If he continues to progress he will be very good indeef. Howrver, the question is not how skillful he is or what he could become. The question is will he score more goals than Barnes in the next 20-odd matches?
History says that very few 18 year olds anywhere have ever maintained peak performance in a senior league. The odds are vastly against it.
So he may be exciting and have potential and skill to burn and yes I would love him here.
But to assert that he must be better than what we have just doesnt hold water and if he did come then the weight of expectation is crazy when the probability is that he cant live up to it. If we can get him then great, but dont overplay him and dont expect too much.
