Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 It will be hard for him for sure, but we signed him because he is highly talented and highly rated so if he can settle he will make his impact. Who would have thought when Mikel came in as an 18 year old with midfielders like Maka, Essien, Lampard and Ballack that he would establish himself as an important and regular member of the team in just 6 months!!! Along with Mikel, other youngsters have came into sides and fitted in easily.....Messi and Pato for instance, even Anelka when he was at Arsenal. If he's good enough he will get his chance sooner rahter than later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although us as a club have a reputation for not giving youngsters a chance, the Mikel example is one which disproves that and hopefully Di Santo will be another......

The thing is di santo might have just as much talent as mikel but he might not have the natrual power. See with mikel he came to the prem and people could not intimadate him because he is so powerful. The thing a young player who is coming to the prem needs is strength, if di santo has just as much talent as robben and he has no strength he will find it hard.
