Weren't we linked with him when he was at Shrewsbury after he played well in a televised FA Cup game against Liverpool?
I think there was some talk of it on messageboards, but I reckon there was a degree of wishful thinking to it - I certainly wanted us to sign him after that cup match. Clearly, he’s not as good a player as he looked against Liverpool and, for me, Reading were just about the only team in the division that our midfield outplayed twice, but I think he played at the back at times in the season just ended - I’d say he’s the type of signing that makes sense in the position we’re in.
