I suspect the club first and foremost spotted the opportunity for resale on the player with an outside chance he might have more of a benefit for the first team.
This all being said, it's relatively early days. He's 23. Same age as Foster.

CT. A thought to ponder. Do you really think it is productive to have a dig at Alan Pace at every opportunity from the safe haven of your website? Isn't the objective to find ways to work with the club meaningfully, even if there are some things it conducts that you disagree with?
