Huge congratulations to the lad but hope he stays grounded, there's already been the odd sign of petulance when playing for us, so hopefully he can learn from this experience and be a regular for them as well as us.
I fear this will see him leaving to the prem. Hope not. It would be nice to see him promoted with us.
At some point he will end up at a EPL club I guess, but at least if he does, we should get a good injection of money, that will be reinvested in the club, rather than mostly go somewhere else, which would have happened with the past owners.
Ideally, we'd hold onto him long enough that we are the PL club he ends up playing for. I'd like to see us get him on a decent new contract to reflect his value, maybe with terms that say he can go for X fee if we're not promoted in the next few years. Whether he'd accept it is another matter of course, but I'd like to think something could be sorted out with our new ambition.
I think the summer incoming players should set out how ambitious we are and whether he will want to stay.
