    To be as consistent as last season.Its all about who plays beside him and which tactics WGS adopts.I personally think he will only get better.I would rather he played in the centre just like Arshavin does with Russia who has the freedom to roam. Everone is raving about the Russian but i honestly believe Aiden is every bit as good.

    Im looking for more goals, and a real man of the match display against one of the big guns in europe, i know he has that in him. If he has another season like last i will not be dissapointed though.

    Like most have said id expect more goals and he himself has said as much. His technique for shooting from distance doesn't generate enough power for me when you watch the Euro's and see the way a lot of players strike the ball.

    If he gave us another couple of games like the Benfica home game in the Champions League he'll be hot property.

    Has to be more goals, more end product... all to often he would beat the man maybe 3 or 4 times then lose it with a wild shot/cross. He is still rough round the edges and can develop much further.

    agree with that, major reason i think he will stay also, as he probably wants that to

    Hopefully he will keep last season's form, not that easy to do when everyone has high expectations of you. More consistency and intelligence in his play should be expected as he matures further.

    I dont think we should be looking for the SPL's version of Ronaldo 41 goal season, its an unrealistic expectation of a winger.

    Id LOVE him to be playing on the right and for Naka to be playing on the left so we can get some width and crosses in.

    I expect him to be consistent for the whole season.IMO his form dropped off pretty badly from about February onwards.Hopefully he is still working with Gregory Dupont to improve his pace and strength.More goals would be welcome.

    Considering that he is almost guaranteed to be playing in front of a better LB next season I think his job will be made much easier.

    People keep mentioning his goals but 8 last season for a winger is a pretty decent return. I think the end product went up miles from him last season and he'll only get better.

    The boy has everything, comfortable with both feet, skill, pace, commitment and the heart of a lion. The amount of times last season he looked completely shagged but still managed to throw the crosses in was unbelievable.

    Celtic legend in the making for me.

    [irony] He's got to score more than 1 goal every 4 games, cannot disappear for a single game or ever get pushed off the ball, and should work hard to improve his freekicks, shots, and crosses [/irony]

    In all seriousness, though, he does need to work on the end product a lot. That's not necessarily more goals for me -- better crossing has to be high on the list. Him, Mizuno, and possibly McCourt all need to have a nice long training session with Sensei Naka and Fuhrer Hinkel imo. If Naylor gets off his *, he can join in the tutelage as well.
