Quite, it's a bit like if we made a stupid over the top offer to a player who then turns down other opportunities to join us, thus missing out on those other clubs, and then us saying we don't think you are up to this league and taking the pen away from him as he is about to sign.

I think we dodged a bullet with this one. His body language in the photo screams that he doesn't even want to be there. I've never heard a player say that any league would be too tough for them so I hope that statement bites him in the 4rse with the other clubs that may be interested in him.
Yep, we are a good shop window and with the training ground and Amex in place, we do provide a professional environment on the sunny south coast. Without being biased we are attractive.
His problem with going to the Prem would be that he won't be guaranteed any game time. The Championship is a good move for a lad of his age with regular football.
