    Well, I never saw that coming.
    What a surprise.
    Totally out of the blue.

    Some people will still ask why we are signing a kid rather than players for the team now, for all we know the lad could be tremendous. It's certainly is an exciting time.

    @LBW shows how much I know!! Alex Neil has literally just used the term ‘one for the future’ about Jewison Benette!!

    Being pessimistic is much easier than being optimistic ...

    ... that's why lazy people choose option A.

    He could be just saying that, to take the pressure off the lad

    Really interesting signing I reckon. In the past it'd have been a complete shot in the dark by the club but with the setup we have now for us to reach across the world and pick this one particular lad makes me think he's a special talent.

    Its brilliant forward planning targeting young players of this calibre, as long as we supplement the squad with players that can make a difference now we will be fine.

    The pleasing thing is we seem able to allocate resources to both,with a clear mandate and purpose. Having said that,we do need to see a now player or two in the next few days.

    Exciting signing. Left footed as well, extra balance in the squad. All good for me. I love seeing young players get a chance and I believe we are viewed as a club now that wants to develop young talent. Great for our academy reputation, and great for young lads like this one (and maybe the french lad). Remember Alan Hansen once said you win nothing with kids and was wrong. HAWAY THE LADS i say.

    Have you heard any whispers suggesting that we’re actively after a more defensively capable centre mid a la Evans?

    Another highly rated young player. I’m sure he will be introduced gradually rather than thrown in the deep end.

    Give him time to adjust. Young lad who doesn’t speak the language and is taking such a big risk for him personally.

    Long-term deal suggests we have faith in him, so let’s get behind the lad even if he’s a bit inconsistent to begin with. Excited about this one.

    CB & CM please.

    Was told last night that it would be announced today. Once again more solid information. Yet some say the "ITK" lads no nothing.

    I think we are a good bunch when it comes to backing young lads mate. A bit of inconsistency will always be there, and inexperience, but I reckon we are a good crowd for making them feel 10 feet tall.
