He signed for a team in League 2 two years before joining us. Yes, he started out in non-league football, but he had a reputation as a good footballer at least a year before joining us. If I remember correctly Burnley and Blackpool wanted him before we put in a bid.
Before we put a bid in for McFadzean a unnamed championship team had a bid rejected. He's good enough to keep crawley top half of league 1 and challenging for play offs. He could be a gem.
I have just checked the Crawley Town website and Kyle MacFadzean has not played for them since being subbed after 39 minutes of their game at Crewe on 24th November 2012. Also a reference on BBC match preview for tomorrow's game "Defender Kyle McFadzean has been given the all-clear following a virus, but is still short of match fitness." So if we sign him, is he match fit now? Or will it take a week or two?
