Yeh, thats where I'm at, sure he's only 21, but he's taking the piss in the Championship, he's done it already in the Champions League captaining a European mainstay, and Keita, rated one of the best in Europe, was only 22 when we agreed a deal for him. I don't think the age is too much of a concern, he's ready for the next step in my mind.
Sure, this is a stick or twist move for him if it happens, and he could be found wanting, but on the flip side, he could really push on here and become something really special. I'm willing to take that risk, even at £40million.
