Ridiculous suggestionUSG can buy him though? We could then buy him from them next season, or the one after that.

Loads of Weir’s staff, probablyAnyone been keeping an eye on hims before he arrives in Jan?
His Transfermarkt stats would indicate that his goals, assists and minutes have dried up since the beginning of the season.Anyone been keeping an eye on hims before he arrives in Jan?
I have my doubts as to whether he can play many minutes in the PL this season. We'll see.His Transfermarkt stats would indicate that his goals, assists and minutes have dried up since the beginning of the season.
Like March, he is a skilled and pacy left footed winger. With the former surely out until at least the end of the season, we have to be sure that this lad is 1st team ready if we are giving him March’s role in the squad which we must surely fill next month if we are to aim for top 6 and cup success.
I think he might be too young and too raw this January if he is not scoring and assisting regularly at a much lower level than the EPL. He needs to be performing like Enciso did prior to joining us - plenty of great performances and goals etc.
He’s 18, he turned 18 in September just after the window closed which is why he can’t join until the January window opens.Seventeen is very young to be playing at this level. Surely he was bought to go via the academy rather than straight to the first team
Ok. That doesn't radically alter my pointHe’s 18, he turned 18 in September just after the window closed which is why he can’t join until the January window opens.
We are seeing more and more teenagers signing and linking up with the first team. The pool of youngsters we are looking at now are at a level where age isn’t necessarily a barrier and it will be how they cope and adapt to training with the first team that ultimately decides on the path they are put on. There is no reason to suggest this lad won’t be given the same chances players like Goodnight, Enciso, Baleba and Ayari were first given.Ok. That doesn't radically alter my point
I get the impression he has not developed much since we signed him. Loan or U21s for him. We’ve another few weeks to sort.Thought there would have been a further announcement / pictures / player arrival by now?

Got to say i'm quite surprised we don't want to look at him in the u23's for a few months before making a decision on his best pathwayYeah, guess the obvious assumption is that we are trying to arrange a loan for him, perhaps staying at his current club, and will announce then. If we wanted him in first team squad he would have turned up on January 1st.
Fair enough though, he's still very young.
I think it's fair to say our development team have watched every minute of football he's played this seasonGot to say i'm quite surprised we don't want to look at him in the u23's for a few months before making a decision on his best pathway
He's coming back to the Albion this month.Thought there would have been a further announcement / pictures / player arrival by now?
Coming back??He's coming back to the Albion this month.
I read and posted on NSC somewhere, cannot remember, that he was coming back to the Albion after being loaned out from initial purchaseComing back??
