I think its hard not too get excited over this signing, we are signing a player who last summer seemed to have the world chasing him! And now he is at the Albion for a year!
We cant put too much pressure and expectation as he is only very young still but its fair to say if he can even get halfway to matching his potential then what a player we will have! I think this is the sort of thing that helps us continue to raise our profile, we have attraced some real quality this summer along with a couple of potential exciting youngsters (Ghannassy and Lukaku) it can only be good for the future.
It also may be a nice incentive for Doumbia who has signed for the Wolves, he may realise if he gets his head down and works hard, has a good season in the Championship then a bigger club like Albion will take a chance on him for the Premier League!
On the forward front, i think Cox and Wood will go, probably both sold with maybe some sell on for Wood, i think a younger striker signing today just pushes him further down the line, but i can see either Odemwingie being used a winger and Thomas being moved on, or one of Long and Odemwingie possibly going (not that i think we should sell them yet, review it January) i think Fortune will stay as he offers something different to the others but wouldnt be surprised if possibly Pete goes to Qatar or something.
