I believe his time in Scotland.under Calderwood was at least in part as a defender. That's not important there compared to the gulf in class
The player himself has said he doesn't expect to.walk straight into the team.
I was just reading the Towell interview on the official.site and.to me it comes across that he.is well aware it will be a challenge to get into the side at the moment, certainly not as BG seems to suggest.that he expects he.can just turn up and be an automatic choice
He will start off pushing for a place in the squad, if he's good enough then it's a nice problem for CH to have and gives us better quality strength in depth in central midfield.
Keeping him here and performances like Saturdays helping us to promotion is worth far more to us than 7.5 million
I can't see the.story being true but if it was the offer is low based on that.
