You’re probably right. My only defence of him would be I’d like to see him feature when we are actually good. Him coming in to a team struggling can’t be easy, especially when he’s not confident/fully match fit.
Will be interesting to see how this pans out re: Crocker's revamp of scouting etc.
Not to mention the new rules due to Brexit in regards to scholar recruitment for the academy.
Linked with young Celtic & Rangers defenders Kyle McClelland & Leo Hjelde.

Yeah, hell of a risk. Always a good sign when his current club are desperate to keep him, though.
Lots of teams want him. At least we’d have a slot for him to fill if Ings / Long / Obafemi all leave.
