But why does he join at this late stage? He said in the interview that VK contacted him early in the summer. That he showed real interest in him and wanting to help him develop. Why was he not here pre season?Quote:

Or of course it could be something else completely.Quote:

His last three games for them were against PSG, Toulouse and Lens. He's not some wet behind the ears kid who might come good some time in the future, he's been there and done it already, and apart from a bit of compo we'll have to pay Bristol, there is no risk involved, we've got him for nowt.
By my reckoning we have a player worth around £15 million that's cost us less than three. Agree with sinkov, this is really bloody good business and if I remember rightly he's the youngest ever player to play in the Champions League. B)
He was Bt - and we have him for a minimum compensation fee - however we’re playing in the best most competitive league in the world so I’m going to wait and see how he fairs before we judge.Quote:
