Has he achieved enough? Has he done enough? Well, absolutely not yet. I mean, you&#8217;re talking about is he going to go instead of a [Bukayo] Saka or a [Phil] Foden or a [Jude] Bellingham or an Anthony Gordon? You&#8217;re talking about players that have got multiple, multiple seasons, multiple evidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMax Dowman, what has he played? Three games in the Premier League, came on as a sub. He would have to basically start virtually every game from now to the end of the season and smash the lights out of everything for you to be able to justify him going ahead of what is probably the strongest part of our team in those attacking wide areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I would say as much as I&#8217;m a huge admirer and excited to see what a fantastic career he could have, it&#8217;s probably &#8211; based on all the evidence we&#8217;ve been presented with &#8211; a bit too soon.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another former Three Lions star who knows all about being a teen sensation, 40-goal striker Michael Owen, told&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[4026,444,6947,85,46,28437,2619,105,6866],"class_list":{"0":"post-391413","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-exclusive","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-israel","13":"tag-m-dowman","14":"tag-premier-league","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-world-cup"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
