I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping that this is just a rumour - I don't see him fitting in to AN's ethos of no 'prima donnas'.
Wouldn't say he is a 'primadonna' rather just a complete knob. Don't think he's a terrible player, just think his personality isn't great and he doesn't offer us anything Mulumbu doesn't.
Can't see him lining up with his old mucker Bradley Johnson in midfield somehow, and that's a position I'd say we're well stocked in so I'm 99% certain this is nothing more than a load of tish and fipsy.
