Haven't seen him play yet, but he'd be ahead of Garcia for me. As would Vieira.

Cheers for all the answers. They were all reassuring and I'm looking forward to seeing the damage this guy could cause in a cup game or the like this or next season.

What I really don't like is when I see someone described as "strong for his age" as a positive character trait and I was a bit concerned that this was the case here. That specific trait will always disappear in the end, either by the fact the player's pears have caught up with him in terms of growth or ultimately, because almost any player in the premier league will know how to cope with big players. Otherwise the likes of Zigic and Dzeko would dominate. Being a small player almost seems like a better thing to be if you're not a centre back, working against the odds and all that.
"I used to be 6 foot 2 with curly hair, look what it's done to me"

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

What do you reckon Williams, D'Anjou and Conference will do once they've caught up with him?

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. Could you bit a bit more elaborate?

Sorry, was being a big dick.
You wrote pears instead of peers, so I wondered what the pears would do (D'Anjou, etc. all being pear varieties).
