I think he'll do well in Serie a. We were in for him too, but I think he had an issue with the limited amount of opportunity at a club like ours so understandable he passed. Pretty sure he will get more opportunity at Meelan, and I wouldn't write off his stats from a lower league. He's at an age that's about the right level of maturity to deal with 'supposed' pressure of a new environment at a relatively bigger club, At 10m, it mitigates the risk to a large degree, non-invasive almost as far as their investments for the midfield goes. Buying him first up may seem like we will question their priorities, but really, it's got more to do with the urgency of the deal since he is deep in negotiations or talks with a bunch of clubs and it was probably a call that needed to be taken immediately.
