I don't see why people are getting so worked up about a rumour, even if it's true, it's £2 million and I doubt he will be the only signing; it's even more maddening given that we are relatively skint and it could actually be a clever way of freeing funds. I'm not particularly pleased about it but there is some logic to it because he plays in two positions.

It is okay saying he can play in 2 positions but there is just a small problem with that. Is he actually any GOOD in those positions? If he turns out to be a bag of shite and the omens aren't good at all then we will have wasted 2m which could have gone towards obtaining a better player with the rest of the money we have available. I would rather us buy one or two players who go straight in to the team rather than 5 or 6 who are gonna float round the squad all season playing 15 games each or whatver.
It isnt about this specific player it is about the way Rafa has done business in the past. The mancs are obviously going to spend big, Chelsea DEFINITELY will and even Arsenal are sure to spend a few quid. We need to be competing at the top end of the market instead of these middle of the road players who the rest of the top 4 wouldnt even piss on.
