    to sign for 300k from Sheffield United according to Sun and probably the more reliable 3CR.

    Midfielder/striker so covers a couple of areas and got the experience at this level even if last season wasn't a good one for him and from what Sheffield U fans say has an attitude problem...

    Blimey that's a lot of money for someone who is seriously under the radar. I was just saying to a mate "oh well at least he's cheap"! LOL

    I always thought he was quite good. Let's hope it's true, I'm desperate for another signing!!

    The career profile seems to say "journeyman" . He has been to quite a lot of clubs and failed to impress the manager at quite a few of them. He does not fit the profile of a "promising young player we can add value to", but then maybe we have enough of those, and need some experience. Not very exciting. Will he make the team measurably more competitive in this division? Mmmmm...

    I guess we are signing (or trying to sign) him as an experienced utility player. Striker and winger are 2 positions we are lacking depth in. 26 is still pretty young, but would be one of the older heads in the squad.

    I have trust in the club's scouts and will not judge a player on his performances until I see him in a Watford shirt. Looks like one of those player's who needs to find the right club and manager to work with.
