But there again, it was just press reports and we know how accurate they are.

Mind you I agree that if we hadn't signed him some more of the youngsters should have had a chance and the money would have been saved. Maybe once he was here they saw something in him that made the club not want to keep him.
Fair enough - not a huge gamble
