Not necessarily and not really in this case. Read Loramski's posts above. It's quite possible he's being held back for perfectly good reasons. Bellamy is managing him for the 18s which could be the perfect mentor for him given the positions he's taking up on the pitch. He's obviously good enough for the DVP.

My hunch is they are trying to nurture that unusually talented younger crop together.
