Yeah I dunno. It's not all you see. There's a lot of potential.Also all you ever see him do is score?
like obviously that’s great and he does look to have an unbelievable finish but I imagine if you watched max dowmans highlights at that level it would be full of him looking absolutely untouchable.
There's a video out there showing how he drops deep to take the ball off the centre backs, sprays an inch perfect angled ball into the run of a winger who then crosses to score. Reminded me a bit of how Rooney used to be with his football intelligence, head up, and ball control. He doesn't seem to even need to look at the ball, he plays it knowing where it is at his feet. (Probably in his periphery looking all of 4'6" tall!)
He's got more about him than just finishing, but he is apparently quiet for periods of games and is still some way from top level football physically.
He does have something we severely lack at the moment. Maybe in a season or 3. We're going to need a finisher much sooner than when this fella is likely to be ready.
