    He looked quite useful on the couple of occasions I saw him, he missed a sitter late on in one of those games, but was never really given a chance to prove himself. He really is one who makes you ask, why on earth did we sign him in the first place ?

    Potential would explain the acquisition. VK has said many times that his focus is developing that potential to help the player realise it.

    Not all acquisitions work out though. That is the reality in all walks of life. I am sure that many on here will be able to name high profile, big money signings that have not worked out. Manure and Chelskie spring to mind.

    I previously worked with a F1 Champion who told me that in the world of motor racing only 1 in 10 drivers make it to the hot seat. It doesn’t mean that they are bad drivers - simply that is very, very tough at the top.

    VK has echoed the same - not all acquisitions make it. Burnley FC is no exception.

    If we can make a profit on selling him, that is a positive, surely.

    Developing the potential to help the player realise it( at Turf Moor) not somewhere else, out on loan

    My mate Leeds Pete says Benson will sign for Dirty Weeds today. WTF are we doing?

    Yet other players are given more than enough chances and are still useless like Vitinho.Has he really showed any reason not to loan him out also?

    I think if we played him wide right in a 4-4-2 he'd be fine.

    I'm not at all certain why VK thinks the lad is a better right back than Roberts though.
