Edit: looks a perfect fit. Ball-playing Centre back but can play across both the two back lines. Sounds almost too good to be true at around €2.5m to €3m

Where have you got that from?! He's a midfielder no?

There was a scouting report on line from when Arsenal looked at him last year I think (can't really provide a link on my phone but worth googling). Very interesting player
Older fans will remember Paul Madeley for Leeds & England in the Don Revie era - played competently in every position from right back to left wing - almost too flexible for his own good. Think (in our recent terms) of Romain Vincelot or Calde with knobs on! The guy looks ideal to provide quality cover in any defensive position and potentially first choice in many.

That other star in this thread said he'd played CB once?! Agreed though, he looks versitile.

Sorry I've mucked the quotes up...

Talk about versatile.

If he's capable of 20 goals a season, I'm in.
