So would I, but not ahead of Nugent, Wood and Kane. There has to be a logical explanation why he hasn't been involved much here. We'll see if the Man Utd move pans out but even if he goes there it's difficult to envisage a glittering career there when he can't make an impact here.
I don't want to see him go because he's better than those aforementioned players but it'll be difficult to stop him if we can't offer anything regular. Sadly young players are almost forced to make seamless transitions to the first team in the fans' eyes, which has a knock-on effect on the player himself. You certainly wouldn't begrudge him a move to Old Trafford but I hope he keeps faith with us if that doesn't quite materialise. In turn maybe we'll give him something back. Hopefully it's not Gradel all over again.
