Who's saying he should be a first team player next season? I'm not reading the whole thread again so I might've missed something, but I thought we were talking long term potential here. And about the Jones/Eagles comparisons: Yes, they were classy at reserves level, but the odds were always against them given that they have significant weaknesses (Jones' pace, Eagles' temprament or lack thereof). Same reason I've never been too excited about Pique. Rodrigo has a long way to go and will like most people most likely come up short in the end, but for now I see now reason not to be excited about his potential. His touch and passing are top notch, and he seems like a bright, hardworking lad.
