All this stamping of feet about "pace and power" reminds me of the kind of thinking which had Emile Heskey in our team ahead of Jari Litmanen.

I've seen him plenty of times Danny and I just don't think he'd make a difference for us. He'd do alright but that's not any use to us really.
You're right about his intelligence though, that's one thing he does have. Playing for us though, he'd have to unlock tighter defences and he'd also be more closely marked, and I haven't seen anything to suggest that he'd be able to cope with it.
