Don't get me wrong, I have high hopes of Geary.

But as good as Joey? I can't see that.

My reference to Joey is more about him taking a while to bloom.

In part as like Joey he started off light..

I am not sure how good he can become, but I believe he has a lot of upside in him yet.

yeah, agreed. he'll be as good as bakes and that's pretty good - but he'll never be a hard-running, long-kicking outside mid like joe.

i've noticed that and raph gets it, too, when he tries those little chips.

Both have them seem to be graduates of the Robert Harvey school of gut-running.
