Is he any good?

I'll preface this by saying I've never seen him play I don't think, but I hope we're looking at his playing ability as well as his apparent excellent character. The latter is important, especially in our squad, but being a good enough player to significantly contribute to our promotion is the most important thing. I remember when we were signing the likes of Lowton and Westwood from the lower leagues we were saying how they'd be hungry and have the right character, but ultimately they weren't good enough players. I realise this situation is different in that he'd be dropping a league to join us, but I still thinks it's relevant.This is by no a criticism, as I'm sure he's good, but it just came to mind.
Looks like we are signing a mentalist - welcome
