He will. I feel in the preseason he was maybe not quite ready, but the german league (which is also quite physical) made him take huge steps. He got played in a variety of position, mostly on 6 and has performed in all of them. Now he also took the stp to the Belgian NT and considering his last games there, he is a regular. His progression curve is just immense. So, next year there is NO disregarding him any more. I am even betting he is going to be one of our best 'transfers'! No doubt in my mind. He is different, but on a par with Hazard. Seeing those two playing and connecting together last NT game (Witsel played a big role connecting the midfield and attak as well, I believe) was magical Ps! (makes me me a lil emotional even when I look at the highlights -
- 10 minutes of sheer football genius!)
