Fantastic signing, can’t say I’ve seen much of him. I’ve heard very good things from a bury fan I know. He’s an 18 year old lad who will be a regular in league 2. Brilliant. Another source of his ability, wether you trust there judgment or not...football manager, always ends up in championship or premiership. Laugh it off but how many times have they been right before!
Cherno Samba and Peter Prosper were two I remember. Along with Ibrahima Bakayoko, who I think signed for Everton and turned out to be a bit less special in real life!
Did pretty well compared to the others though! A quick bit of research reveals that most of them (I also recognised Andri Sikthorsson and Kennedy Bakircioglu) didn't amount to much, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic was a Football Manager wunderkind at about the same time.
I honestly don't see how this deal could be any better. Great stuff. 18 Year old potential wonder kid. 5 Year contract, should he turn out to be a star. Loaned back out straight away to get games. Sounds like we've conducted ourselves with integrity. Perfect transfer, for me.
Impressed that he'll train with us midweek if they dont have any midweek games, too. Good opportunity for some prep for later this season or next.
