Yes, he's monstrously quick and clearly he's highly talented but why does everyone keep losing their shít about him being the best in the world?
And why did the 'keeper jump out of the way of his rather weak shot? :sherlock:

You're not being contrarian, but you are in danger of being cantankerous. The lad is an immensely exciting player to watch and - of course - pundits are going to talk balls. For myself, I think he's fantastic to watch. I'm not interested in comparing him with anyone else.Quote:

After his debut he was described as 'a thinking man's Carlton Palmer' :)Quote:

I do remember seeing Carlton Palmer play like Vieira once. It was in the first half at Wembley for England against Holland under Graham Taylor. For that 45 minutes, he was magnificent.Quote:
