Agree with Ryan.
This boy is definitely one for the future, and the one, perhaps, that we should have the highest hopes for now.
A championship loan would be ideal for him next season, hopefully at a decent club chasing play-off places. Somewhere like Blackpool with Ian Holloway might be good.
Unless of course he's actually in the prem next year!

I'd like to see him loaned to a good championship club next term where he has a chance of establishing himself in the first 11.
Then the following season have him around the first team squad, he'll be 18 then and if you're good enough, you're old enough (although he may also need a few more loans depedning on the circs at that time).
Good, commanding centre backs are like gold dust, especially as he's also English and home grown - top quality home grown players always tend to give that much more and are more special.
