Adam Wharton

[riverholmes]

There's talent and application. Then there's the team. Scholes put it all together to get to the heights. Wharton might be technically there in talent already but the rest has to come.

Bellingham seems to have it all but I don't see the application and teamwork to put him on a par - yet.

Anyone got a clearer view on how much we get after his England start?

It all depends who you mean by “ we “. I suspect Rovers won’t get anything.

I was just watching the bbc highlights of the Palace v Wolves game. Wharton gets a ball on the half turn under pressure and flicks a 25 yd ball with the outside of his left foot straight into the stride of a team mate who then puts Mateta clean through on goal. The lad has a radar in his brain.

One thing he does exceptionally well is scan the pitch.

Watch him off the ball; he never stops scanning.

The elite players do it and he's always had it in his locker - it's why he's a step ahead of most players he comes up against.

It’s why no one can get close to him. It’s not two touch football with Adam, it’s one touch. His vision and technique is second to none.

To non players that pass wouldn’t have looked much but if you’ve ever played you’ll know how good it was. Later on he hits an inch perfect cross field pass with his right foot. You don’t get many left footed players that are happy to use their right foot when the occasion calls for it.
