Do you have some personal affiliation with him? Can be the only thing that explains the way you have went on about him in contrast to everybody else.

Of course this will be a dream come true for this kid - he's about to play for his hometown club.
Is he a good signing? Time will tell, but we definitely need bodies in and if he, like Ste has said, isn't first choice, then what's the real dilemma? This kid will be much more willing to sit on the bench of his home town club than some player from the continent.
As long as he's not starting in front of our more seasoned players this is a win-win for us.
