I wouldn't want him.
He looks a good player and all, but i can't get away from the fact that the Stoke medical pointed out that his knee won't hold out for much longer.
[/quote]Yeah i think West ham took a punt at a few mill Euro knowing the risk, and Newcastle got him for free so they risked fuck all. There is no way we should bid money for a player Stokes medical team described as a ticking time bomb.
I hope the lad plays out a successful long career, but unless he is free I dont see anyone spending a bunce on him.
Shame, we should have picked him up in summer.

Yeah i agree mate, especially with our track record it just seems too much of a risk.
It is a shame really, not only is he a good player but he seemed a very likeable lad in that interview they showed before the game yesterday.
