he is now almost 22 and still cant get a permanent place at Real. Looks good playing at a lower level. Was good at Hereveen but didn't set the eerdedivise alight the same way as VD Vaart or Sneijder did at the same age. Am curious to see how far he gets
Well, not being better than Kroos and Modric at the age of 21 is not really a stick to beat anyone with. It will be much clearer were he stands in relation to the Madrid first team after the next season, which will be his first with the first team.
Anyhow, remember that the perspective of success is from a Norwegian point of view. We don't have much to compare with. I do find it weird that you mention his time in Heerenveen and not his season at Vitesse, where he was picked out for ToTS.
And when mentioning youth and potential, Sneijder is probably not the best example to bring up after his latest remarks on his training when he was in Madrid.
