Agreed. My point isn't that I think he's crap, my point is that if it is this difficult to sign someone no one's heard of, we've got fook all chance of signing anyone decent that we might have heard of.
What really saddens me is that we've had 38 pages of debate about a player that 99% of us had never heard of before the rumour, so no one's got any real idea of whether he's actually any good or not and it looks like he's going elsewhere anyway. That's a really sad indictment of where we are at...
