Based on the limited appearances I've seen, I agree. I know he's young, but I can't get over how slow he's looked when I've seen him. He has a long way to go and if he keeps getting hurt then he's never going to live up to any exceptions.
I know it's annoying when people write off young players at an early stage (I'm not doing this with Vuckic btw), but it's equally annoying when people make excuse after excuse for these kids. It's ok that some of them aren't as good as anticipated. Disappointing sure, but more miss than make it. That's why stockpiling them is more important than trying to pick out single studs.
Sorry for the tangent - I'm bored.
How much football has he played in the last two years?
No where near enough.
