i think that because of 2 factors, he didnt mature quickly as we hoped.

Well, nowadays, among the young talented players, who really works that hard ??
I mean, the guys are stars at a younger and younger age, everyone labelling them "the next X", everyone saying them how talented they are ...
You know, a guy that most of the people knowing him would like to have in Milan, Hazard from Lille, very young player, admitted (the coach and his team mates said it several times too) that he tends to play thanks to his talent only, that for him, only the games count, the trainings are just a boring thing (he also said that he'll try to work more because he sees he starts to improve less and knows that without working hard, when he'll join a big club, with players at least as talented as him, if he doesn't work hard, he won't get playing time: actually, the guy is quite mature as he knows what he has to do) ...
When you see a guy like Benzema in Real Madrid, he didn't improve since 2 years at least, it seems he only starts to understand that he needs to work, and that's because both Blanc and Mourinho said it 150 times in medias (and probably more in private).
My point is that the most talented young players are rarely the harder workers ...
