So, give him a little game time, Derby had a 15 year old in the first team, how old was Rooney when he first played for Everton? If the big clubs want him then tie him down to a lengthy contract and make them pay a big club transfer fee. OR hopefully he is a sensible kid who realise he will get a chance with us way before he gets a chance with them.
Much like they have done with Arnkansas (something like that). Wait till he's 17 and send him back with a full contract. Simple

Obi is doing his two year scholarship now and then gets a one year pro deal at the end of it. I'm guessing this kid has been offered a similar thing.
Asked him on fb: still working on things for next season, thanks for the support, will post news as it unfolds!!
