The loan with an option to buy really makes no sense. It's a risk free transfer for Bristol City. For players on high wages you can't shift those kind of deals make some degree of sense, but an academy player? He must be the least paid of all our current midfielders, getting him off the wage bill is surely not going to move the needle much.
As Baggies says, its incredibly damning that pretty much the only players we have anyone wants are our academy pros, all the millions spent on fees and wages in the last 5 years and we can't even give most those guys away. Though fair play to the academy who've managed a good through line of talent despite a run of managers who don't really like to use it unless absolutely forced.
