I've been telling you not to jump the gun, judging him or his price tag yet

This kid has natural talent. You can see it just from the little touches and the way he reads the game. His intelligence is way above the average player. He has the potential to go as far as it can go. We just have to give him time to find his proper role in the team.
I've been praising him before he even left Palermo. And I haven't doubted him for a second.
