Im starting to think its just a hype around this lad cause he comes from our academy.
Academy players will always get hyped but I can say for sure that he was a standout player, miles above peers in the teams he played for, and looked to be one of our better bets. But it shows that it's not easy to transpose it to first team football. It's why I now don't get super excited when young players show stuff in brief appearance, because when it comes to a full season with ups and downs you see the real player. To me he looks like a player realising the level he needs to be at and mentally struggling with this the longer he has gone without providing the end product he did at youth levels.
We can blame Allegri perhaps, it's a convenient one used a lot, he certainly might be better with a different coach, but reality is that he'll have to figure out the step up to this level. He won't get forever to prove himself at a club like Juve. He'll get longer because we're not currently an elite club, but if he doesn't improve in many areas the best he can hope for is a deep squad player role.
A season or two at Genoa to gain some confidence might be his best bet.
