Terminal Boardom Typical! Go for the bells and whistles yt leave the essential functionality behind
Can he defend? Can he tackle? Can he organise? Can he lead? Anything on top of this is a bonus.
He lacks pace now, but he will give McAnuff some more freedom to bomb forward, and not have to track back and cover quite as much as he has had to.

Of course McAnuff HAS TO TRACK BACK! Just remind me how Victor Moses ripped a new arsehole for Jay Tabb.
I would have thought that in the modern game, the ability to do all of that plus get forward/overlap in attack is a prerequisite for a right/left back of any quality - and we are talking The Championship afterall.
winchester_royal Super Kevin Bremner! Just been speaking to the guy I know on the senior coaching staff at Stoke.
Griffin's well past his best defensively, got no pace or height and he's done well to get a Championship side to play for.
Funny that because he was performing decently in the Prem only 8 months ago....
And that's exactly what age and/or injury can do to a player. The same could, of course, have been said of Murty at one point.
I'm hoping that he turns out to be a very good player for this season but if he turns out to be nothing more than another cheap option of dubious quality then we (and ultimately tightarse himself) will pay dearly. We are currently having a good old drink in the last chance saloon of The Championship.
