I'm sure he's a nice enough fella but I mean really, what is the point in this Pro Contract thing?

I'm sure it'd be lovely to unearth a Charlie Austin or the like but Paolo must have been thinking, "have I really got to pick a winner?"

Well considering he nearly voluntarily picked a second, they must have something about them.

Doubt it.  I think Samsung pay his wages for the 1st year as part of the sponsorship.

Agreed. One can only assume it is done for publicity.

If they're paying his wages then we're getting free publicity.
