Here's the problem with anything about him...if he really starts to push on, he's going to be the coolest kind on the planet but never able to skate around Liverpool again without being mobbed. If he goes south, everyone will say he's a flake and should have been more committed to football.
I hope he smashes it and is still able to pull off a grind or two down at the docks. Embrace him, you 'kers.
