    Blimey ......... if we knew then what we know now.
    But I suppose we'd have sold him at some stage.

    Its amazing how players can improve with good coaching, a good attitude, given support and time.

    Jay Rodriguez, Chris Wood, John Walters. Didn't think any of them would amount to much.

    When he was with us he was a raw talent not quite ready for the first team and it showed that's the problem with signing kids from PL teams on loan often they aren't ready and lower League clubs are used by PL clubs to get them ready for the PL clubs benefit.

    When we had him on loan he was only 18/19 raw but had talent scored a few important goals for us not half as bad as many made out.

    If he worth that whats woodrow worth?? That one aged well
