I'll annoy Boston if I talk about this.
Do you know what?
He's just so good that it's like I thought he was a centre back, but that's not saying I don't think he can play in midfield.
My thing with Boston was you've so much talent and basically every attribute going.
If you don't make it as a top-level player, something is wrong and it's going to be on his toes because there's nothing the kid lacks other than, at the time I was working with him, experience, which now he has plenty of.
So I don't really care where he plays.
I just hope he maximises his potential because his potential is absolutely enormous.
He's one of the best young players I've worked with.
He's a fantastic kid, fantastic guy.
And yeah, I think he likes midfield because...
He's got a bit of mischief about him.
He's got so many attributes.
He can drive the game.
He can kind of break it up, but he certainly has got incredible talent with the ball at his feet.
I just felt as a centre-back, he's got elite level qualities.
But in all honesty, when I watch Boston, I just enjoy watching him anywhere.
Fingers crossed for him.
He can play centre-back for his club in midfield for Ireland and you'll be happy.
As long as he's playing and he's happy, I'm happy, yeah.
You've obviously been a player at the club and then you've worked at various levels with different teams through the academy and the B team.
