Nah, we were desperate for players (we only had 2 at the start of pre-season as I recall!), and he did well at LB.

Leeds are being linked with Gabriel Torje, 23 year-old Udinese winger, nicknamed the Romanian Messi
Don't know anything about him, but if he's any good, he'll be just what we need. Might also mean that Hall will be on his way, which would be a pity.
He's a talented kid for sure. If he ever came to this league it would be with Watford, given his Udinese status.
If he is solely a winger, then it's unlikely we will go for him, he wouldn't fit into our system of wing-backs and 3 CM's.
I have heard that Udinese want about €7m for him though, so guess that would price him out for you? That's what Udinese paid for him and doubt they would want to make a loss if it is on a permanent deal. He has 3 years left on his contract so they may be open to a loan...

Apparently we've definitely scouted Mackay-Steven as have Blackburn. Also a rumour we're looking to take Jimmy Kebe on a season long loan from Reading, who seems to be out of favour with Adkins for some reason.
Fantastic. Apparently Adkins has been claiming he's injured but Kebe called a local phone in saying he's been fully fit for a while.
Mackay-Steven and Kebe would take us from a mid-table side to a genuine play off contender, no doubt. Have a feeling we'd only get one of them though, and that's if we're lucky. Maybe if we can offload a couple first it might be more realistic
