Totally agree with Brasil_Spur first and foremost, great post!
What I noticed yesterday against Sporting is that he has a great knack, like Zidane did, for stopping with the ball on the spot and calmly deciding what to do next. He turned well, showed some lovely touches and played some good through balls to Keane as well.
However, he doesn't yet work hard enough to get back when he does lose it and does indeed lose it when he sometimes tries things that he probably shouldn't.
The bottom line though is that he clearly has massive potential and if coached the right way and obviously as long as he cooperates then he could an important player for us
