He knows how to cross a ball - his 'assists' record is very good.

But we have Noone, Harris, Pilkington, Hoilett, Kennedy.... and probably John and others who can play that wide role. Is he so much better? Is he a potential signing to ensure we avoid relegation, or even to push for top 6 next year? Not a major improvement on what we have now in my opinion.

I would be £10 that if we signed him in January his assists stats would be better than all of the names you've mentioned with them starting from August. My concern would be that apart from crossing the ball and working reasonably hard for the team he is limited at most other parts to the game.

Why are Brum selling him? He did well under Rowett and Brum have been awful since Zola came in. Surely you'd be trying to recapture what was going so well?
