      Had potential, played alright when moved to left mid for ajax, then went to AC Milan and was bang average at his best for the last 5 years.

          Yeah, you can see by the trajectory of his career since leaving Milan that the last few years haven't gone well for him. All I'm saying is, to play week in, week out for 4 or 5 seasons at Ajax and 2 seasons at Milan.......the guy clearly hasn't always been rubbish!

            Blimey, D-d-d-d Dexter Blackstock's still plying his trade then. Seems like an age ago when he was our first choice striker.

              I'll tell you, I think when he was at Ajax, they didn't have many left back options. Because I know fans there were critical of him at left back because he didn't know how to defend (Traore much?). But once he moved to left mid, he became fairly ok for them. It's pretty well documented that full backs don't come out of Netherlands often as well, hence keeping his spot, just because he was the best of an average bunch. Hasn't gotten a cap internationally since 2012 as well I think. In any case, I don't think he'll do great for Wednesday but he could prove me wrong at this level.

                Not sure we should be looking at free agents. We signed them in the past and I'm not sure they've done that well. Nas tell me if I'm wrong.

                  One example is Rod Fanni playing at Charlton last season despite having previously played for Marseille for a good while.

                          The Canadian was released by the club after failing to agree terms with Hoops in the summer but he has yet to find the Premier League club he so desires

                              Some of my best friends are called Rod Fanni.

                                I blew a lot on vodka and tonic, gambling and fags. Looking back, I think I overdid it on the tonic. - The one and only Stanley Bowles
