Wide attacker, attacking midfielder, who really cares. He drifts around that area of the field and has some skill. Seen his type so many times, they are always super hyped and nearly always flop once they get to the top level. Add in his attitude and no top team will be going near him for some time.
Why would United rave about him? Um, because that's what they do. I still remember Fergie's famous 'this is the future of Manchester United' programme notes just before a team of Kuszczak, Bardsley, Evans, Pique, Simpson, Nani, Martin, O'Shea, Eagles, Dong fricking Fangzhou and Anderson got beat by Coventry lol. Just have a look at all the hyped United youngsters over the years, but it happens at all big teams. It's called bias, something you obviously know a little about.
I've already said why we we shouldn't and certainly will not be buying an English kid with some talent and a fake thug complex. If he reaches his potential fair enough, but he won't be doing it here.
