Yeah just saying it’s possible but given his personality and attitude straight away had him earmarked as next captain they likely don’t include traits like not caring about your own career and the club because you see yourself as a better player than the coach.That was only my speculation. Probably far from the truth.
Personally I think those positives everyone at club liked just don’t translate to on field, throw in a bunch of injuries and rules keep changing and he can’t catch up.
