He said he had that intention last summer though. I hope that we will get all our signings done early (like when we signed AJ, Howard and Lescott) but I'm not hopeful, and think we're in for a bit of a wait.
That's my point. He hasn't played enough for people to be saying he'd be a good signing. He has potential, of course, but tbh, we need a player with more than potential. I'd rather spend money on a midfielder we know can cut it.
I like him but it's not likely that we'll play a conventional 442 is it, so we'd be paying £10millionish for a player that probably won't get that many starts.
