It's part of a strategy.
1) Agent talks him up to media contacts (Derby, CCM, and now Norwich).
2) Forges record on wiki
3) Hope to perform well at Confeds and WCQ
4) Hope those performance get a little bit of notice (see: Reid after 2010 WC)
5) Potential clubs look at his 'record' and that other clubs were 'interested'
So transparent
