Well, I've watched Theo play about 6 or 7 matches. One thing that he has in spades and that is essential to really prosper as a striker in the modern game is speed. You look at Defoe and Owen - he'd cream them both in a 200 metre dash. The lad is electric, I think he almost matches Henry and Silvestre in terms of pace - and I think they are the 2 fastest players in the Premiership.
Has the lad got the skills? I really think he could develop into a great player. He reminds me a lot of a young Owen - wiry, quick as hell, good touch, and he can finish clinically. Would I pay that much for potential though? Christ no. I mean, the lad looks good, but I don't know if he looks much better than Defoe did at his age. Still, who needs Walcott when you have Roon-aldo and Mikey, Mikey Mikey OOOWEEENN? |
