It's not really that funny. He plays in the same position as Maddison, Maddison is class and he's ours. Why would we bring this lad from arsenal in, in which we would have to promise to play him regularly and not develop our own player? He may very well go out to a championship club, where I'm sure in a squad full of seasoned pro's not a squad full of kids like ours.. There is more to being a footballer and more to being a good team than just being a technically good player, you need the right balance in the squad. Look at the difference between Chuba now and Chuba 2 years ago. His highlights video made him look class at the time too. Funny really an edited highlights real can make anyone look class - we've already seen Maddison's, lumaires, Cian Harris's, and the other young midfielders highlights this summer.

I understand what you're saying. However, I would accommodate a player of Crowley's obvious ability. He can play anywhere across the front attacking line, barring up top. He could sit a little deeper. Granted you need to take all highlight packages with a pinch of salt, but you've got to know what you're actually looking at/for when you watch them as well. Also from everything I've heard, seen and read about him he really is the real deal, the next Wilshere but hopefully without the injuries which admittedly he's already picked up, nothing serious as things stand. Tbh it is a pointless argument as he won't be dropping to this level, I have it on good authority that he will be going on loan to a Championship club or abroad this season.
