I also have a feeling he's not going to become truly world class, but for different reasons.An unpopular opinion, but even though I have high hopes for Greenwood I have a feeling he’s not actually going to make it as an elite player and fail to fulfill his potential. He has undoubted ability, but I feel his mentality is going to be his downfall.
Firstly, we are currently a graveyard of young flair players' careers. He's at the wrong club at the wrong time when he needs careful coaching and mentoring.
Secondly, related to the first, he still doesn't have a clear position. He's not shown the ability to be a number 9 at all yet. But he doesn't have the raw pace or all-round game to be a wide forward yet either.
Thirdly yes I do worry about his mentality. Reading between the lines about a few rumours over the last 18 months has been worrying me for some time. I hope I'm wrong.
