Really don't see this as an issue because he's on the books & no where near the team, so to me he'd be better off going & seeing if he can make it elsewhere.

I'd have Dele in the side well in front of this boy & he's no where near the Prem team thus far.

Rose. Gedson, Dele. Gazzaniga could all leave in January and it wouldn't hurt the team. I like them all but it seems selling them is better for the club.

I doubt anyone will notice.

Good luck to him though.

We have no need for him and certainly shouldn't be considering buying him. Rather pay the youth over him to develop our own.

I can't see him setting foot on the pitch for our first team again this season - short of being rotated in for an earl-round FA Cup tie if we have an injury crisis.

I think this was a prime case of 'too much too soon', where the player needed another year or two of regular playing time before stepping up to a bigger club and league. Hopefully his lack of opportunities with us won't derail his career.

I'm always happy to give players time but I couldn't really see much potential there.

A while ago there were reports that Jose rated him, no idea if valid.

I just don't see him playing much for us.

He should probably go to a midtable side in Portugal, play week in week out and see what he can do from there. He has absolutely no business in playing in the Premier League at this stage of his career.
