So difficult for a young striker to break through at a team like ours where the expectation of the fanbase/club is to make champions league/challenge for titles, it would take an unprecedented show of trust for our club to give him more playing time over the likes of Auba/Laca at the moment and then to eventually put their faith in him to replace them....always more likely that when Auba/Laca leave or reach the end of their playing days the fanbase will clamour for a big name over gambling with a youth product in such a vital position,.
For me, once this season is over he needs to get out on loan to a prem side where he will play week in week out, that is the only way he will get the amount of playing time he needs at the top level to truly see if he will cut it, though having said that the quality of the league is so high he wouldn't walk into many of the teams as a nailed on starter.
Such a tough position to break through. He needs to be "on fire" at some point somewhere though to make it happen at this club.
