Bit different though he wasn't 28 and in football ability terms will have peaked.

I think this is it for me.

We have gone from a younger prospect who has played at a decent level to an older option who has played at a lower level. For the same money.

They're not comparable, he was an unknown 21 year old that we took a £60k punt on.

I watched last night. Looked functional and used to playing the position. Pretty much all you could hope for from a 28 year old playing in the SPL.
Doubt many people who didn't know who he was last week would have seen him yesterday and thought 'search over'.

He looked pretty mobile making runs for other players. But don't worry we'll knock that out of him.

Every time I see his name I think he's chief exec of some boring utility company - far too sensible a name for a footballer.

Every time I watch Scottish football I can't help but notice how much space attacking players have relative to the Prem.

I doubt a 27 year old who has only played in MLS and SPL would be able to adapt to PL.

I firmly believe that if we don’t sign him we’re not signing a RB and we’ll be lamenting JOB at RB come September.
