This really.Not everything we do improves us. Sometimes we are trying to derisk a situation. At this point we are looking like we will let quite a lot of players go And may lose others we don’t want to. Tying down JJK de risks us from not refilling the squad and the cost of us doing that is low. If we are able to improve the squad and don’t have injuries to the point that JJK doesn’t play then all is well.
i think someone posted earlier that there can’t be an academy player deemed ready and therefore this move. I just see it as an cheap insurance policy
Also, if Kenny doesn’t get much game time, he will probably need to move on next summer regardless.
