He's already started against Stoke in the FA Cup last season and performed well and had minutes against Man U and Liverpool on the pre-season tour as well.

The only reason he might struggle is he's still only 18 and moving away from home might be difficult for him.

Ultimately he's absolutely rapid, so it doesn't really matter if he's up against boys or men he will just run past them.

I've never seen anyone able to track his runs off the ball runs so providing your midfielders can pick him out he'll be away.

He is coming here to get games and he will get them I am sure. Palace obviously feel he is ready for the challenge. But for some of our fans to think he will just walk into the team first game - is just wrong. There are a lot of games over the season and they come thick and fast. I expect him and Bidwell to get plenty of gametime over the season.

I don’t think anyone is saying he starts on Sunday surely?

I would guess he'll start off getting minutes off the bench but I'd be shocked if he wasn't first choice second half of the season as he offers too much going forward and if your other LWB offered the same he'd already be playing in the Premier League.

I'm surprised no one has made a Youtube of him but there's a few clips on Twtter which encapsulate his game:

Some directors, however, feel that the more physical demands of lower-league football are not best suited to developing Premier League skills, particularly among players who have not fully developed physically. They believe this could change, perhaps if Championship sides were obliged to field a certain number of under-23 players in their first teams.

Those poor Premier League youngsters…

If the Premier League got it their way it would be a closed shop and the rest of us would exist purely to do their bidding.

I’m going to tattoo “Lower league clubs are not your B team” onto the forehead of every Premier League Director.
