HomeSteak I'm pretty sure we picked him up as an almost developmental talent. In other words, we spent £34m on him now knowing that he wouldn't be quite ready to go immediately, but perhaps saving us £20-30 or even 50m in a couple of years time.
And he's definitely shown be can make a contribution on the ball. He just needed time to adapt to the physical demands of this league. It's easy to forget he's only 22 and in a new country. That's not easy.
