It seems a big risk to pay £5mill leading to say £12mill for a 16 year old lad who has played a few games in the Championship. It seems the media have hyped him up a bit and i don't think you can actually compare him and Rooney because Rooney made his first appearances and impact in the top flight.
I think its disgraceful that the club wont recognise the HJC, i was baffled as to why before i read this now i'm even more confused. There is no logic to it and its out of order by the board. Would flooding the club with letters/emails be helpful?
