Surprised and actually very pleased and excited to hear that Brendan will parachute him into the Europa League squad for Thursday's game most likely where he will make his debut. Yes the lack of options up front is a main reason for this but nonetheless it's good to have a manager who will take a chance on youth when, in all fairness, we have been very conservative in doing this the past decade or so. You could say a good few players "missed the boat" with regards to getting in the first team but I believe the boat never came for them.
If the rest of the youth squad are seeing the likes of Yesil and Sterling getting into the first team then it will really make them believe that they have a great chance of getting there themselves.
