I don't know why people get up in arms when we make these signings and take it out on the player, it's a different event altogether to signing someone into the first team.
Last Janurary we signed Miyachi, Toral, some other kid and also tried to sign Oxdale-Chamberlain, the season before that we went for Chris Smalling and before that, Luke Freeman. It happens every transfer window and it seems like a 'cruel twist of fate'. But every club make these moves, Chelsea signed some kid the other day as well but because it's not front page news, it just seems like we're the only ones signing kids.
Having said that, he's a little older than Miachi, Oxdale, Toral, Merida and the rest. At 19 you'd expect him to get some games with the first team within a year or so because there's very little left to 'develop'.
