Dude, he's 20-years old.
Well aware of his age, doesn't make my point any less valid. He's pace and strength, with erratic form, poor technique and no composure. Yes, those are part of the game that come with age, but good players have usually developed at least some technique and composure by the age of 20 (certainly the better ones).
Would be interesting to see what Drogba's technique and composure were like aged 20.
Aye, but we weren't asking amongst ourself if we'd be taking Drogba on loan for a season. Why should we develop someone elses 20 year old for a season when we have Nile Ranger (basically similar vein to Alitdore) already on the books? Hell, we've got Ryan Donaldson and Andy Carroll too.
I wasn't supporting his loan to us, just him as a player. It's ridiculous for you to say he's Martins, except worse when he's 20 and plays a completely different game them him. He's been immense for us this World Cup, he does every little thing no one notices and continues to get flack for it.
