And the insider info is just the random personal opinion of one inside source. The whole ”he’s got a 14 year old brain” and everything else was the opinion, not of a fecking trained mental health professional, but some random inside source at the club. We have no idea if it’s a coach, a director or the fecking tea lady.
And yet you’ve taken that and decided he was troubled as feck and mentally undeveloped with a fecking “child like brain”, even quoting it
despite the very same article saying it was stereotypical footballer stuff and nothing bad like the club had seen with Ravel. But that was the point of the article, to get clicks and get people to think there’s more to it than there is.
I’m sure half the people at OT thought Pogba and Lingard had child like brains too, just as the majority of this forum does. Not least those brought up in a much different era, those of us born before the 90’s tend to think the entire new generation are babies in mens bodies, hence Lingard being constantly referred to as a man-child even in his late twenties.
Take away the recency bias and it paints a picture of
many a regular teenager, an extremely talented one, sometimes petulant, nothing more, nothing less. You’ve taken that article and decided on very little that he was really troubled, as if he had Ravel Morrison issues or something. That’s what the article wanted.
