We've sent a lot of players out on loan this season, which is something we haven't done for years. When players hit 19/20, they really need to be given first team opportunities to keep developing; too many of our young players have stagnated in the U21s.
If this guy coming in allows for Ahmed (at the very least) to go out on loan to get first team football, I'm happy with that, especially if he turns out to be an improvement on our current RB options.
