We all know he needs to prove himself in the prem to justify a rise, but I'm sure he still believes he's better than any of the new arrivals, regardless of their experience. I don't think its arrogance, but simply complete faith and confidence in his own ability. He will come good I'm certain, and I can't wait for it to click for him and for him to start raising eyebrows and having the pundits drooling after some sublime skill or wonder goal.
When that time comes and he performs consistently at a high level, he will have an argument.
