To be honest, I've only seen Sorensen play a little bit for us. I missed most of the games when he played, but caught the last part of Sunday's game and got to see him but nothing that can definitively give me an idea of him, so my question(s) is:

Does this guy have a future at Juventus? Do you think he can be great?

Honestly, it's tough to say. I mean, it's easy to get caught up on the wave of enthusiasm (myself included, for sure), but realistically he's only had a handful of games and there's still time for everything to go wrong. Nevertheless, judging from the qualities he's exhibited, there's an even greater chance for things to go right, I feel.

He's 18 and playing, out of position, for a world-renowned club when just a few months previous he was at a Danish second division side or some such. Yet, he's already demonstrated he has that intransmissible cool-headedness that most top defenders naturally possess, excellent technical ability, great physical stature, and on and on. He's slotted into the team without much of a hitch and proven himself on par for the level. I can't stress how important that is. Take a look at some of the youngsters Milan and, particularly, Inter have tried out this season. Absolutely atrocious, and they've been rightly banished. Not Sorensen. He just looks like he belongs. Some players just impose themselves and get noticed, and he's done so. Even once the injury crisis is over, there is absolutely no chance he's going back to the youth ranks. Absolutely none.

I thought he was average after the debut but boy, has he impressed. Can't wait to see this guy own Vargas this week.

He's a smart kid for a defender too.Even at this age he's developing some style of his own to stop the opponent and snatch the ball.
Playing him at RB was a smart move from DN.It has less pressure and responsibility than the CB and gives him the experience he needs for his natural position at CB.Just like chiello's pass to greatness.

I think he will make a very good CB or defensive RB (which we can afford with Krasic). He made some very good tackles, stood up in the challenge and was overall very strong.

He's still useful as a right back. The reason being is his accurate cross field passing. While the opposition anticipates a Krasic onslaught on the right, Sorensen can get the ball to Marchisio/Pepe in space quickly on the left.
I couldn't believe what I saw yesterday. On the run, a one touch pass straight across field and it fell right at Marchisio's feet.
