What really excites me about Tex is his brain. There are several players who can run like a fizzing firework across a pitch without actually achieving anything - it's impressive to watch but basically not hugely valuable to the game. Tex is so smart with the ball, the way he positions himself...
A player of his age, with his pedigree.. they'll want closer to £10 million than £5m.. That's certainly not within our budget and even if we could scrape a fee together there'd be clubs offering him double or even triple what we could,
Great player, just enjoy him while we have him,
