Yeah saw the report this morning although I thought the sky site
reported him as being a midfielder, defensive midfielder ??

I have the feeling Megson feels he has enough to score, but wants to
make sure the defense is improved upon ??

I was a bit squeemish with the preseason results, but I know how
these things can go, as long as they are gelling as a team, just
wondering what another player coming in at this late stage does.

anyway looking forward to the weekend and football results!

woohoo.
