He was pretty rapid when he broke through.
Agree he'll probably need to drop deeper to prolong his his career like fergie wanted him to, cant see us getting more than 2 decent seasons out of him though
He's never relied on his pace though, is what I mean. He was quick and powerful - like Barkley, but Barkley doesn't just rely on pace.
Hypothetically, if he did come this summer, I'd say he'd give us a good 3 years. I think the first two of those he could definitely be a starter as well - in one position or another.
I won't be devastated if we don't get him or anything, but I think if the opportunity did arise we should go for it.
