I think it may have been these couple of reports that got people a bit excited:
Added to his natural talents he’s obviously also put a lot of work in as his kicking has improved considerably since the start of pre season, which I would put down mainly to a lack of competitive football last year. But he’s also changed his technique to a degree, he’s now much straighter in his posture off both feet and more reliable as a result.
I’m sure it won’t be long until he starts nailing more of his goal opportunities and then he’ll be even more of a handfull than he is now.
