I'm delighted that Daryl has joined us, he certainly has the potential to become an excellent player who, if we're being realistic, could well earn us a hefty profit when he moves on. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's a release clause in the contract.
The club deserves great credit for getting not just a deal, but a permanent one over the line, even moreso for making it happen on the first day of the window, when we're all used to larger incoming deals either happening in the last few hours before closure or not at all.
This signing is also very clearly one which backs Valerien, so hopefully people who are on his back will settle down a bit, at least for a while, and see what happens. I'm sure he's chuffed that the deal has gone through on January 1st.
I'm very excited to see what Daryl can do for us and whether his obvious presence, even though he's still very young, will help other currently misfiring players in the squad to thrive. Welcome Daryl!
I hope there might be 1 or 2 more signings to come....
