Just wondering how this guy is going to improve the team? Unless i've missed something?

My thoughts are that there are loads of players in the lower leagues who have the potential to step up 1,2 or however many levels. I guess this is where good scouting comes in - spotting that potential.
That then is just the start..... the new club has to bring that player on to realise that potential. Just because he's from a lower league doesn't mean he won't make it - all top level players must have started lower,  even youth/under 21/reserve teams of the Big 6 are a lower level.
Personally I love the thought of discovering a rough diamond like this. I'd rather us try this way than continually waste money on unmotivated ready made "stars" with huge egos. I think BD is after players with a hunger to prove themselves,  and I applaud that.
