I'm usually late so sorry if this has been rumoured previously but a couple of sensible Wurzel fans I know say he's decent.

He's been released but has had some injury problems so he sounds a perfect signing for us.
defensive midfield is an area that could do with strengthening, but I'd prefer someone who wasn't going to be 30 in January, and who already has a list of injuries.
that said I don't know enough about the guy to have a very strong opinion.
"Several nasty knee and ankle injuries"
... "The sun setting on his career".
I'm sorry, but I'm just fatigued by the seemingly constant signings from just over the bridge, going back to Nicky Maynard (yeah, I know he came via West Ham and Flint from Middlesbrough)
The ironic thing is that all of them (Tomlin apart) come with the tag of "great servant" and how they'd been a "huge part of Bristol City's recent history" - when was the last time they finished above us?
It is THEY that should be looking at OUR cast-offs!

Saw this rumour from brizzle fans the other day, they were putting two and two together as his contract was up, he wouldn't have to move and our recent history of picking up an ex Bristol City player to keep our quota up.
There's quite possibly nothing in it.
Having said that the few comments at the time were quite positive about him.
Is there a chance one of our regular midfielders will be leaving?
Perhaps we could persuade them to do an exchange deal... we give them Pack!Quote:

A 30 year-old, injury prone, wurzel reject? Why?
Give him a 6 year contract!

Bet he's amazing now :hehe:
Good player from what I remember but unless a club can get him on a heavily incentivised contract by low wages and big appearance bonus etc it’s a huge gamble reading that for whoever takes him on.
I always see ‘get x on a pay as you play deal!’ On these sorts of players - has ANYONE ever gotten a PAYP deal? I certainly never heard of anyone.
A true embodiment of the Swansea way. A real mystery how he's ended up at them instead of Man City.Quote:

2 rightbacks one has recently played under Harris.Quote:

How about Nathan Byrne,
Wigan Right back, picked up 1 goal and 8 assists last season.
