I can see a bit of both sides. I understand making the deal: highly rated youngster that we wouldnt have been able to get under any other circumstances (i.e. we wouldnt have singned anyone else cos we had no money, but deferring it to next season allowed us, and no club but chelsea would have gone for it because of their heavily stacked future FFP bill), and we possibly wouldnt have been able to get him at any other time.
Plus he's 'one for the future' so you wouldnt expect him to be coming straight in to the side either.
on the flip side though, if he's so expensive and highly rated, how isnt he getting a look in?
Though on the flip-flip side, with the situation we're in and all the tough cup draws there hasnt really been a very good opportunity to give him some games
Hopefully next season he'll start to get some game time, start to justify his fee, and the constant debate about him will go away
