I think he's definitely trying him out in a more attacking role. It's long been said on here that Valery is better going forward and should be tried on the wing in fairness.
But when £5million is a big chunk of our limited budget, it does make a difference. For example, a large chunk of that money could have been added to Ings' contract offer, and we'd be much better off with him up top and KWP at right back.
Tall, quick, gets his head on crosses and corners a lot, good first touch, dribbling ability and a great finish on him. This kid will be a top striker one day.
I doubt he'd do anything for us in the first team but if we're re-signing former players to help the youngsters and train to be coaches I'd love us to sign him with that in mind. Would be great to have a finisher of his quality teaching our forward players.
