True. However the same applies in the opposite direction.
It is typical of certain fans from certain clubs along with certain members of the UK media to bull certain players up well before they have done enough to deserve it. At the moment he has done nowhere near enough.
I have no opinion on Penny other than he clearly has pace and is very sensitive to the colour of his skin. As someone else has eluded it's best to wait a while to see if the fuss is justified. I suspect it isn't but we shall see.
