There is zero certainty he’s good enough and he’s very very young for a midfielder. Lad has lots of development to do before he’s ready for the premier league and a full season as a first teaser. He’s being vastly over rated as per all our youngsters. No one knows for certain how any of them will develop. I’ve yet to see a youth product as good as Ravel in the last 10 years and he managed to feck himself up. Obviously our current incumbents aren’t at the required standard but throwing teenagers in to fix a poor team isn’t a great solution.
Ravel was a stunning footballer. Best I've seen at youth level in 25 years if not ever. A completely unique, balanced, snake hipped, dream of a footballer. The fact that he never followed it through will always disappoint me because he could have been special to watch in a Manchester united midfield.
You don't need to be as good as that to make. Pogba wasn't as good and he's done alright for himself.
Greenwood is the first one in a long long time to excite me as much. It's been obvious for 2 years. It's a walk in the park for him. Just needs to get stronger.
Axel, Gomes and Greenwood are the only ones ready for the first team this season.
Garner is making great strides though. Brilliant defensively, positions himself well at all times, good range of passing, score goals. Still quite weakly built. Growing into his body. I see no reason why he can't have a good chance here.
