Is only going to Juventus B rather than their First Team so will wait and see what happens to his career
Imagine Serie C is probably about the level of League One / League Two (?) out there so shouldnt be too much of a step up at the moment
Of course would be happy if he makes it out there and goes on to have a good career with Juventus yet not too bothered about him not coming back to the Valley - Seemed a bit like Carlton Cole when we had him on loan, where off the ball he didnt seem interested and felt far too often we'd go down to 10 or 9 men with him and Kaikai on the pitch...
Has all the natural attributes of pace, power and size to be a decent footballer and showed in flashes he had something about him. Didn’t want him back this season but if he sorts his injury record and buckles down he should have a decent career.
He seemed scared of getting injured last season, wish him all the best as he was decent.
Indeed. After he rejoined in January, he was on fire for the first few games - then he got injured, missed 6 weeks and was never the same player.
I remember seeing him scoring the winner against Oldham after a brilliant run. A couple of weeks later, he and Fosu together were unplayable, completely unhinging the Walsall defence - but after returning from injury he was a shadow of his former self, afraid to sprint, get hurt or take any risks.
There's definitely one hell of a player in there, if he can avoid perhaps the fear of recurring injury.
I felt with him that he lacked footballing intelligence, which meant that the system had to suit him rather than him being able to work in a different system. When Robinson put him out wide, able to cut in with no defensive responsibilities he was in his element and he looked pretty decent. When Bowyer asked him to play in the diamond he was completely lost and just tried to do the same things he was doing in the old formation instead of adapting to the new responsibilities and requirements of the role. That really cost us when he was on the pitch, and I think players like him were what Bowyer was referring to when he talked about needing to have the squad playing as a team rather than as individuals over the summer, and why he showed no interest in playing him much when he had him or bringing him back afterwards.
I hope he does well at Juve, but he's going to have to seriously work on the tactical side of his game if he's going to get anywhere

Good luck to him nonetheless.

For all of the naysayers, he was unplayable on his day. If he can stay fit, avoid those muscle injuries for a while, he'll be an absolute steal at 2m.
