The interest in him smacks of Reilly style moneyball stat buying*muffled screams into cushion*To be fair this signing could be the defintion of Moneyball. If they have concluded that running around a lot and generally being ineffective is a more valuable stat than scoring goals or assists for example.
I think he will do alright up there.....he had a tough old job last season operating in our midfield in his first season in England.
Wouldn't have minded him staying, not overly fussed he's gone. May well be a good player in a decent side with a manager and coaches that know what they are doing but was pretty 'meh' for us.
