Exactly how I feel. Bart is only 21. I'm more then willing to wait until he approaches his mid-20s before I even begin to expect him to contribute in a meaningful way. Anything earlier is just a bonus. But are fans going to be as patient? I don't think so. And that's a shame. There is a long list of European players that take longer to develop.
