To be honest the lad is probably smart to pick here over the bench at West Ham. They have two very good midfielders in Soucek and Rice who already fit their system, so he would be probably looking at cups and conference league games in the short term. He comes here and plays within a fortnight, and unless he has a stinker, he's going to stay in the side and develop.
He looks a good player, but my concern is if we spend all the budget on a midfielder when we have zero goals in the side. I can't get excited about any other moves while we have no fit centre forward. Why is that not top priority if we genuinely have £30m to spend? It's two days before the season starts and the points on Saturday are worth exactly the same as every other week, it's almost like we have written off August and accepted a woeful start is inevitable.
