If we knew Luke Young wanted to leave (and, to be honest, when does a player wanting to leave mean you automatically have to let them go?) then we could have gone for Brown.
The point is, on evidence thus far, he's gash.
I'd honestly rather see Beye get a game.
i think mcleish did know this but i think he was always interested in hutton as per the journos reports all through august, but a club needed to take young from us before we could buy.
its no coincidense that o'niell (who brought him), macdonald, houllier and mcliesh have all otped to not play beye.
as i said hutton is the better option to beye and i think he will come good, he hasnt been great but he could be alot worse!
