Barry the bird boggler Nice to see us setting our sights according to our budgetary means. Says it all really.
To be fair, you're reaction is based on a report on a website which isn't neccesarilly accurate. I bet you said the same when we brough in Stephen Hunt from Brentford on a free from league one, and Kevin Doyle for £70k and Shane Long for what was it, £25k from Cork City?
My only doubts about this player is his age and if he isn't good enough from the off, time isn't on his or our side for him to develop, and we don't need another Mooney on our hands.
It's very foolish to rubbish the lower league players, some of which are very good. Lest we forget that much of our record breaking Championship winning squad was made up of these 'unambitious' signings.
