what's as infuriating as the fact he says that he's going straight into the match squad & that we've spent half the transfer window p*ssing about on this, is that he's now looking to give some validation by saying it's under 2m but it's a lot of money unless he makes it = cue the development via playing time and not signing a genuine starter to kill his opportunities. We spent more on the likes of Walcott, Ox, Rambo & others at the same age FFS.
“It’s less than £2m. It’s an awful lot of money for a player if he doesn’t succeed. If he does succeed then it’s cheap. Yes (he will go into first team squad).”
