That's obviously a down side, however I do think our players would be able to nip that in the bud and make him more humble.
He's a little bit arrogant but I think we are lacking some self confidence at times. Like Jose said, we're a little too nice.
For example, Cantwell taking kick ups before his penalty, we need A bit of that.
On the technique side, I've become more aware that a midfield of Lo Celso, Ndombele, Winks & Hoejbjerg isn't going to cut it. We need another option and if the club are indeed sniffing around we'd not do much better in this climate.
Think we'd have a mixture of everything then.
We need either an Eriksen replacement or we shift system and play a DM and two box to box central midfielders. Cantwell’s an attacking midfielder but his stats (goals and assists) is nothing to write home about. The role we would want him to fill is vital to our success and he’s nowhere near ready. Given a choice between Cantwell and Coutinho the latter would be 1st choice every time. You know what you’re getting with someone like Coutinho whereas Cantwell is similar to Sessegnon in that he’s promising but definitely not ready to develop into the finished article. Cantwell also reminds me of when Bale used to be more concerned with his hair than how well he performed on the pitch. If we’re wanting a young prospect then Eze is the way to go.
