Can we stop trying to wish this guy into the first team for next season, please? It simply won’t happen. The gulf in quality between playing in the Championship for Swansea and playing for one of the world’s best teams is immense.
I still believe in him
I thought we sold him for $5m in summer. I must have been fantasizing again.
At this stage in Charlie’s development, it seems like so much of his performance relies on those around him. His real strength is in link up/interplay and a lot of his teammates haven’t been on a similar technical level. Swansea has been a breathe of fresh air compared to Blackpool in that regard, but I still want to see him in a more technical side.
Recovery speed is the only real concern I have. He doesn’t shy away from the physical side of the game and is almost a bit too eager to fly in on the tackle.
He’s going to need a lot of game.time to properly develop. He doesn’t get that at the club, unfortunately, but that doesn’t mean he won’t find high level success
Looks like he needs to extend, go on the bayern diet and continue playing 1st team minutes.
If his level is Championship, so be it.
20 is a good age to start to bulk up. He could do with sprint training too.
I want him to come good and am willing to wait untill he is 23/23 to decide if he is AFC quality , unless he can do it before.
