One to sell I'd say. Talented but inconsistent and should fetch a half decent fee, probably on relatively good wages too as one of our better players. He was a cracking signing for the price though, credit to Bain for that. What was it 250K or something like that.
Who knows I was just thinking of how we persuaded him to come to us over better, less doomed sides and money was the obvious answer. Maybe nobody else wanted him but it seems unlikely.
