Think your info is wrong Nik, and it would be a hell of a contract for Villa to have offered 20K a week to a player that at the time of him signing his first contract with them was 17, and when it was extended was just short of 20, this was an automatic extension. He has of course spent most of his time on loan at different levels, i think talk of 20k would be ridiculous in this case. I can also say that having spoken to his father earlier in the season he absolutely loves it at EP. Actually only yesterday I was discussing whether at possibly 1.2 million it was too big a risk for us to take given that really he has only done it with us out of his loans, so basically 12 or so games. I eventually agreed that it could well be worth the risk. Based on that if he continues to develop he will be worth a hell of a lot more, and we would always get a good bit back even if he didn’t improve.
