don't know anything of him, but his stats are pretty good. Might be a good cheap signing like Laurent

I think realistically it's the way forward until we get our wages in order and get our losses down, hopefully supplemented by significant player sales which may be the likes of Olise, Meite and Laurent.

Frankly I'll be happy next season if we stay clear of a relegation battle.

prob agree

think there is enough quality likely to still be there to do alright. Obvs if we can cash in during a depressed market on the likes of those above, and maybe Joao, Puscas, Moore and pick up some good value signings it would do wonders to the finances

Sounds perfect for our needs.

Looks like a few goals and assists. Decent defensive stats. His pass accuracy is atrocious though this season. Less than 50%.

Is that something we could coach into him? With our manner of playing? On that stat alone, I somewhat assume he's hoofing it upfield, rather than playing to the man in front of him.

What do you think?

Thats what I would assume as well or he puts in a lot of crosses, but their strikers aren't much cop at getting on the end of them.

I'm guessing he swings forward a lot of balls down the line to chase and Gillingham.have a rather direct style. But it's only a guess.

Rather have Ian

Checking his Whoscored passing stats suggests there is a grain of truth in that. He averages 24.7 passes per game of which 8.7 are classed as long balls. Only 2.7 of those are successful on average.

Involved in 8 goals from LB though, so not too shabby going forward and defensively looks decent with room for improvement. On a free, I would be fairly happy with a move for him.

Hopefully if you add in frequent crosses that aren't too successful that accounts for it and it isn't a big deal.

But certainly a bit of an eye opener.

Their manager is Steve Evans so doesn't come across as much of a surprise to be honest
