Hope not.......




Wouldn't want to see his career blighted by injury the way that JB's was.
Anyway I don't believe in calling talented youngsters the "new" anyone as it just puts undue pressure on them and detracts from their own individuality.

Marinello was the Scottish George Best for instance which never did him much good.

Ryan Giggs was also the 'new George Best', which he objected to.

So that's a Scottish George Best and a Welsh George Best. I wonder if there was an Irish George Best? :hmmm:

No, nowhere near. He looks to be an excellent prospect, but at the moment there's a long, long way to go before we should even think of him in those terms.
