Its a free, just one year and is a position we desperately need to fill. Its not like were signing Oneill to a 3 year deal and paid £3m for him.
I always thought Barton spoke "bollocks". Baird and O'Neill could well be the Derry and Hill players we signed under NW. Solid pros who won't set the world alight, but will be reliable 7 / 8 out of 10 players in the games they play.
