I've noticed on other sites that people are calling the deal an embarrasment amongst other things. Am I the only one who thinks this is an overreaction?
Okay, he's no world beater, and it's safe to assume he won't ever be chased by Barcelona. But before he was injured he was a proven premier league player. We got him for feck all, and in all fairness, I highly doubt this deal would have happened if Davey had money to spend in the summer.
So yeah, whilst it was never a signing to get people excited [to put it mildly] it's not as if Moyes went out and signed Joe Bloggs from Marine AFC. He's an international footballer with years of EPL experience who happened to be available for free outside of the transfer window.
