It was more the "only a matter of time" that made it sound like it's a certainty. Which it doesn't really look like at the moment.Because I rate him, and he shows (rare) glimpses of having really good finishing (that Newcastle away game springs to mind).
I'd say the same thing about Hojlund by the way, and I'm sure lots of people would have the same "why?" response to. Just think he's got it in him.
Obviously I may well be wrong, Once upon a time I was convinced Ricky Van Wolfswinkel would tear it up in the Premier League....
