The boy does look a real talent and hopefully will flourish into a great player but he does need to be handled carefully. several of our players mentioned in thread below, who played frequently when young, really did suffer with injuries.
Eadie, Bellamy, O'Neil... noticeable that they all had and relied upon speed, much like Murphy.
Recall Michael Owen talking a couple of months ago and he said he played far too much at 17/18 which had knocked a good few years off his career. Had concerns over Sterling who suffered last season, having played a lot when he first arrived on the scene.
