I saw him play for Reading quite a bit and didn't rate him. Couldn't really beat anyone with skill, couldn't see a pass, wasn't exactly pacy. Just seemed to be a big bustler who put himself about and got a few scuffed goals and headers.
Obviously didn't see him week in week out, so hoping I'm wrong about him...
The interesting thing is, as an out of contract player, we didn't need to sign him on deadline day. So the fact we pushed it through late on deadline day suggests it was simply a signing to appease the fans (to mask the fact we didn't actually sign who we wanted and because 3 signings simply looks better than 2). I don't believe he's someone we genuinely wanted because if he was, we could've got this done before the start of the season.
Hoping he delivers but it's very much a sign of desperation when you're rushing a bosman in on deadline day at 10pm...
