He could do with a season of mainly coming off the bench with the odd full game, whilst watching and learning. For this to work, we need someone in his position he can watch and learn from. Herein lies the problem.

I suspect we will see a much more refined Tom Davies, due to fact he won't have to do all the running all of the time. Some of his partners in midfield we're pedestrian at best. The poor lad was having to cover for the likes of Rooney and Schneiderlin legs for large parts of last season.

Please check with me for Blammo criteria
I await with great excitement confirmation as to whether it is Pirlo or Makelele that he is most similar too in terms of playstyle.
I think last year you could see that he had a 50/50 blend of the two. Unfortunately it was the passing range and creativity of makelele and the energy and strength of a 40 year old Pirlo rather than the other way round.

No they’re not but top players don’t need to be told the basics at that age - top players work it out for themselves. Stop quoting his age - youll still be saying he’s only young when he’s 24 because he’s not good enough.

Maybe he's just a teenager who was getting played far too much by a manager who didn't know any better. Hopefully Silva won't play him too much and will work with him on his faults, of which he has many, and limit his game time to cameo's from the bench and the odd start.
Hopefully we'll see an improvement on last season. he likes to play on the front foot and I think Silva's tactics will give him more options when in possession.

I'm assuming that post was in response to mine. You need to use the post reply thread in future mate otherwise I might not pick it up.
What do you call a top player mate? You rarely get a top player at 18/19. It's also rare that somebody Tom's age has played so many senior games in one of the big 4 leagues, whether they are a top player are not.
The simple fact is Tom Davies is not currently a top player. He's played so many games at this level due to injuries and also a sub standard manager basically over playing him. He is still a novice, learning his trade. he needs further coaching and development. A lot of it in fact.
And for your information, if Davies is still showing the same ability levels with no sign of improvements over the next couple of years, then I'll be calling for him to be moved on. No question about it.
Just turned 20 and is playing the hardest position on the pitch in the toughest league in the world and people are expecting him to run games? Christ! We are all expecting finished articles by 21 now.
Plus he's not exactly had stability with managers has he and playing with an uninterested Schneiderlin and a pensioner in Rooney didnt help. He will be fine.
