Seven, though?

There are *so* many things to go wrong between now and, say, 18 when he's ready (or not) for the first team. Too short, too slow, lack of vision, weak on the ball, injury, girls, drugs...

Odds on you'll never hear of him ever again. But maybe, just maybe, he'll be the next Rooney. There's so many of these kids who are the next big thing and then by their twenties end up in East Bumf**k Reserves.
