Ha.
Good signing. Excellent young player, who I'd love the Albion to have signed.
But to credit Eddie with his 'development' when he's only trusted him to play about 300 minutes of first team football, is rather stretching it.
I didn't actually say Eddie developed him, more that he is now seeing him develop into the player he knew he could be...
Lewis Cook started our PL campaign and looked very good... Yes he has been down the pecking order, but he's also been out for a large part of the season through injury as well... Eddie never played his new signings for a considerable time... He believes in bedding players in on the training pitch thoroughly before they get near the starting XI
The only player that was given a huge go at the starting XI, straight away, was Jordan Ibe, and I believe that was purely because of the huge price tag on his head... Eddie's persistence was wrong though, IMO, as Ibe was pretty awful from the word go... He then vanished to the training pitch and we've barely seen anything from him since... Even Wilshire didn't command a start from the off...
Lewis Cook will be huge part of our side next year... That I have no doubt...
