If he keeps his feet on the ground, he will tear up that division.
The skill speaks for itself. If the discipline and patience is there to go with it, he will be a major asset for us in one or two years' time.
I remember Liz Taylor being interviewed next to Richard Burton in the early 80s and she was asked about his acting. She said he was 'one of the best actors in the world.'
