Devils advocate here but is the common conception that the lad is a 'wonderkid' and the next big England star a bit over the top?
To add any substance you'd expect to answer yes to a few of the below;
Does he have any outstanding attributes? - What are they?
Has he ever looked capable of taking control of a game or turning one on its head? - When?
Does he have a presence on the field?
Where is his natural position? Some mutter centre half? Is he box to box? Defensive midfield? Attacking midfield?
Will he command a starting place next season? Ahead of Arteta/Fellaini/Cahill?
Moyes has today said 17-year-old Ross Barkley would have featured this season if it wasn't for his injury. What does that mean for Rodwell?
At 20 years of age What do we have on our hands here? The next Michael Carrick or the next Steven Gerrard?
I can't make up my mind. I've never been so indecisive in my judgement on a player. I'm not convinced with the hype. He looks assured enough in possession but very rarely looks comfortable/confident/willing enough to make it count...
From the performances you have seen, would you consider him capable of being 'World Class'?
Thoughts?
