Not sure what “solid pro”, means. He’s either good enough or he isn’t. I think he’s been something of a disappointment. He was at best a workman like player for Stoke, sadly he seems to have left his better days there. Slow, often caught in possession, not really clever enough to be playing a central role, slows play up far too much for me. Would hate to see some of our younger talent denied a chance by this, imo, poor signing.
