Everything bar pace in my opinion

Good skills, great vision, can pass and shoot...but doesn't have any wheels, and so probably won't be a top player (By that, I mean Premier League). He's a decent size (6'1" if I remember) but could do with bulking up a little to be a target man. The problem there is that he's a professional athlete and it can be very hard for them to put bulk on - they tend to end up lean.

I admit I haven't seen him too often, but given where he's at in his career, why not put him 3rd in line and find out what he can do? Does the club really rate him so poorly they are only keeping him to prop up the reserves? Ditto Ian Henderson, and he's had far more opportunity than Ryan Jarvis, albeit out of position. Why nto shock everyone and see what he can do in his proper place?
