Nothing wrong with the club buying talented youngsters for relative peanuts. It is wrong banking on them being immediate hits though.

This shouldn't need to be repeated, but it's true.

Nothing wrong with it, I just don't really have time or interest in any of them until they get around to looking ready for the first team, which most never do.

Low risk, high reward. I like it. Also he looks to be a real talent when healthy.

In fairness to this chap, from the sounds of it he's a lot closer to being relevant than Sunu ever was.

By that I mean when you sign a player at 20 with competitive experience, it's a lot less of a punt in general than a 16 year old with none.

Totally agree. Tall, rangy, fast, a finisher; Ade mk 2. A specimen as well, looks like he could easily dunk a basketball.

That is always handy in football I guess.

He's probably better than Sunu, but at Sanogo's age he was at least laying in Ligue 1

Everyone will be shocked and dissapointed if that happens.

I am pleased to be following in the footsteps of Abou Diaby who came through from Auxerre.

I hope, he doesn't literally follow Diaby into our medical ward.

Many similarities here - both the players are tall and physically strong. Both have looked good whenever they have had a run of games only to get injured again for long periods.
