Right, although he barely played in the Champions League. He made his debut in the 2-2 against Manchester City in the 87th minute and only played 1 more match for Ajax in the CL. On top of that, the kid is 17. He was also playing with a much weaker side to the Champions of England (for 5 minutes) and against Real Madrid (4-1 loss).
He has played a big role in a bunch of the bigger Eredivisie games, including PSV and Feyenoord home games.
Of course I'm not vouching for him to come or saying he is ready in the slightest, but your statement is ridiculous.
Those aren't excuses. Messi debuted at 18, Nastasic at 19 against RM, Bojan at 17. . . . . Age really doesn't justify a poor performance. Beside, I was trying to stress that ATM he isn't Barcelona quality by a mile.
