Strange one this, a few years ago he looked like he'd become a very good player but they messed him about a bit and he lost all his form before a wesley level injury a couple of years ago.
If we can get him back to his form 7-8 years ago he's a great signing at what I expect will be a fee of peanuts, if not it's experienced cover for a couple of years whilst our kids develop.
I said a week or so back that I saw the 4th centre back as a tough spot to fill so this is about the sort of gamble I expected.
