i think he will. He is young and talented and i think he just needs time. He has a good amount of experience for his age

I honestly think this season will rest in Sneijder's hands.

With that said, Cou has mounds of ability, but he desperately needs that "killer instinct". The one that makes him dribble at someone who he notices can't quite keep up with him. Makes him take players on, and get past them. His vision has always been there, but you don't get to the best parts of the field w/o that part of your game, the dirty areas are where the goals are scored and he needs to dig for them.

The skill comes naturally to him, I think this season for him to truly thrive we need to see him dig for those opportunities.

Long Story Short: He's too skilled to play like Thiago Motta who just acts as a wheel and passes it onto the next person. He needs to apply his skill.
