He's solid, mate. His positioning used to be a bit suspect, but he always had the pace to make up for it. That was a few years ago now, he might have improved on that at his time at PSG though. Might not have as well like.
Definitely not. It's a great shout actually, to get a player of his quality in on a free transfer would allow us to spend big on other areas. We could probably beat a lot of clubs outside of England on wages, so not totally without a chance.
Hope I am right in thinking Sam wont stand still, he needs to bring in another 3 or 4 starters in imo, some of the players we have had to involve simply are not good enough, if we think its been hard these last few seasons, its going to be harder still in the next few, unless we strengthen all areas. It must be done and its quality we need, not space fillers.
