Well it would be difficult to argue that we've missed him given what's happened in the last 9 months or so. I have to say though that on the occasions I saw him he looked a decent player and, presumably, the professionals that run the club thought so too because not only did they give him a contract, they also paid what was said at the time to be a 'substantial fee'. By the way, opinions are just that, and we are all entitled to them. But often they are stated with such absolute conviction that one might possibly mistake an opinion for a fact.
I hope the lad gets himself back to full fitness, it's awful seeing a young player not being able to play due to a nasty injury. However, I really don't think he's anywhere near good enough to get in our team now. I would expect him to be loaned out if he gets upto speed until the end of the season. I'm sure he'll recover from this injury but I can't see him playing for us again.
This unfortunately. Really hope he gets fit and is able to continue as a footballer but I don't think it will be with us. He did look good in a few games in late 2014 but that's not evidence that he'll be good at this level. Not that I'd be against giving him a chance, I just don't think he'll get one such are the strides we've made since his injury. Best of luck to him.
