The lack of physicality just undermines any technical ability he may have. Yes he isn't the biggest lad around but it's more the lack of any kind of strength/power to hold his own. Don't know what he has been doing strength and conditioning wise, but not been many signs he has improved in that area. For that reason, as already mentioned, he will get overlooked by Mourinho.
I hoped he would use the last few preseasons to really work on his core strength and come back much more stronger but he still looks a boy playing a man's game at times. A move to Brighton would be good for him and a fresh start but really has to address the issue with his strength/physicality otherwise I can see him following the same path as Phil Ifil and dropping down the leagues fast.
