It's funny to see how a year can damage the reputation of someone who was quite clearly the most exciting prospect outside the Premiership in English football. At the time, we were happy to have nicked him off the likes of Liverpool and Spurs with many other clubs who would have quite happily taken him. There are no guarantees in football and the same thing could happen to anyone stepping up from the Championship to the Premier League.
He had a tough first season in the Premiership. Injury hit just as he was hitting form, Bruce sacked and then he came back and played while quite clearly injured when we had nobody else to play up front against Blackburn. We shall see in the future if this has helped or hindered his progress. I think we still have a very exciting prospect on our hands.
