I don't disagree with you!
I seem to remember PB saying re Percy however, that we think he's good enough and it was a calculated gamble based on changes to Work Permits in the English game. There were multiple potentialities to getting him a WP and annoyingly none of those seem to have come off...
That we have given opportunities for younger players to step up with mostly cup involvement in the first team (Molumby, Sanders, Cochrane, Gyokeres, Roberts, etc.) but Baluta, a full international, has only made an appearance for the club in the U23s so far this season.
If he is good enough...
