No worries. We're all entitled to our opinion. It is a discussion board after all. I think he will become something special.

I think he'll be a top centre half personally.

i am not doubting his ability as a player, as i view him as extremely talented,  but maybe to excel in defensive positions rather than an attacking midfielder beating the last defender to through balls! That is the comparison i disagree with the platt thing!

Handy to have a defensive player who knows how to finish all the same.

He could have had a hat trick as well, probably missed the easier one of the three as well. The first was a cracker.

He looks like a bloody good player. On the other hand, I predicted great things for Scimeca, Olney, Norton & Hughes.

Will be a great Central Defender... This spell in CM will only be beneficial and help him develop into a cultured defender.

Could be really great.

Agreed - a fine CB prospect and seems to have the temperament too.
