He has to be symptom-free. No matter what the player wants to do, you can't put him in harm's way.

The symptoms of one mimic the symptoms of the other.

When he's staring at you, it's almost like you have a halo behind you.

I like the player and I am interested in him, yes. It's a massive gamble because no matter how many qualities you have...he is only 16 years of age. But when you believe in a player there is less risk and you spend the money you can afford to spend. In his case it would be a massive amount of money for a boy of his age. You either go with it or not.

No one wants to see a player that young retire. He's a big weapon we have.

It actually turned out that many of those who were symptom-free for one year were also symptom-free for 5 or more years.
