We were linked to him before. A very Saintsy signing, even moreso with only a year left on his contract.
Doesn't shout 'EPL starter' but does shout 'player trading'!
Definitely a change in profile of targets from the past few windows. SR are still a 'player tradning' operation of course, so I expect we will sign a youngster or two will signifcant sell-on potential.
But nice that PL experience seems to be the immediate requirement.
Based on his time with us before I think he'd excel in RussBall. His movement, touch, speed of thought and finishing would see to that.
BUT.....how much of that does he retain now?
Signing average prem players, for free, in our first season back is a pretty decent approach.
I'd be VERY happy with us being an average prem team this season!
