Claiming a 19 year old who has shown zero improvement since his debut season will become Worlc Class is a stretch. My guess is he won't amount to anything.

Walcott can't stay fit enough to be anything more than the new Anderton. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml
