I think he would be a good addition and a very good addition in the short term, I'm just looking at the drawbacks with him, the same way Woolwich had the issue with Rice as their 6, we'd be facing more or less a similar issue with him in that position.

It's a minute detail but it's an important detail because it often gets overlooked.
He's not Baleba I do get that, just think he's almost more suited to us, especially if we're going to go big on set pieces under Frank, monster in the air also.
 
Why?

There's about 5 players in front of him in the 10 role and let's be real he isn't near the first team.

Probably best to sell and have a buy back clause.
This is why hoarding young players for the sake of it doesn't work. Many will never be given a chance and we will find out when they're at another club that they were actually good players.

Devine imo is an excellent young talent but instead we splashed 35m on Gray meaning him and Donely will never be given a fair crack of the whip.

Don't Gray and Devine play in different positions though? If anything Bergvall is the one who's taken his place and I'm not really sure anyone can argue against that signing.

I think if players were good enough they'd show it either out on loan or at the club, hand on heart I don't think anyone can really say Devine's been outstanding, he's shown glimpses and he has talent but it's not enough.

Donley is ahead of him and even he won't make it with us, the bar is very high in this league.

Moore is the only one who I've seen and would probably say there's something there but I think he needs a year away.

I think we as fans have a hard time accepting that a lot of our young'uns aren't good enough to play at the highest level for us.

You think he needs more charts like you don't ya?

Gray is way ahead of Devine. Devine is almost 21 and can't get in the England U21 squad and Gray has been in it since he was 18. Gray did well in the Championship, Devine struggled there and had to go to Belgium to get minutes where his numbers weren't great for a number 10
 
Isak tells Newcastle he wants to leave so assume pool will get him. They are having a window spurs fans couldn't even dream about and here we are with a new manager with only one proper new signing so far.
Just goes to show not all American owners are bad news for clubs
 
Not for us he isn't.... Though would LOVE HIM here!
