Is Trai Hume good enough for the Prem?


Great summary of Trais first season in the Premier.Usually when coaches pick out a player there are parts I dont agree with but on this occasion 100 per cent agree.His ability to play in various positions will be vital as the club builds the squad .
Where is this summary? What does he say?
 
Yeah, he’s stepped up really well for his first season. I still think his weakness is getting beat for acceleration when a fast winger stands him up and then shoots for the byline, but that’s not easy to stop!
 
He always gives 100%. It’s not his fault he isn’t a natural LB nor a commanding, gifted, CM à la Xhaka.
If fully fit he doesn’t start in a back 4 of

He is definitely a good squad player
 
One of those players who, because he came from L1 to Ch'ship to Prem, people will form/have formed lazy opinions after a mistake or ropey game, whack 2+2 and end up with 'USELESS, not PL quality' and will only ever highlight moments to support that line of thinking.

For me, he's precisely the sort of player we didn't have during the last PL stint. Heart and soul, work ethic, brave, cracking tackler, happy to get his kit dirty and take a hit for the cause.

One massively overlooked aspect of Hume: he's only just turned 24. Likely still going to improve.
 
It's a bit of an odd one as he's almost certainly not in the first XI if everyone is fit, and yet he has undeniably been such an asset this season.

Doesn't mean he's any good in those positions, RB and a fill in LB, CB aside
