From what I saw of him at Feenux he is a fairly solid midfielder. Sort of box to box but prefers to be in behind the strikers. Actually not to dissimilar to James Brown but probably doesn't think he's a superstar like brown, eg may work for the team more.
tl;dr - an ok footballer but uninspiring and not what we need
Wouldn't he take a foreign spot?? I swear he was an American.
If that's the case, I'm underwhelmed.
I think he might be naturalisedQuote:

Don't need someone who can throw from deep for GK. We need a lawn bowler so they can roll it to the back four.Quote:

I was a supporter of GvE's, but we've had a ****ing loooooonnnnnnggggggggggggg off season and the best he can come up with is Alex Smith and that other Coastie bloke? FFS.
The more things change, the more they stay the same
While we're on the topic of adding 2 and 2..
If we sign smith and sign burns, there's no squad spots left for a centre back
Pretty obvious then. No Burns.Quote:
