Sounds like a massive coup if we can pull this off. The lack of youth coming through the system has been a massive issue since Lerner started his cutbacks and I'm glad the new regime has recognised this and is starting to address it.
As for Louie, just because we have pressing short term needs, doesn't mean we should ignore the long term future. Sounds like a very exciting prospect indeed.
Yes, but the initial fee is 700k rising to £3m after add-ons. If the fee reaches that amount then surely it means Louie has made X amount of senior appearances or scored X amount of goals or has represented England at U/21 level or similar, in which case surely Louie has started to make it as a senior player thus justifying the increased fee.
