This is just NOT a Hughton type of signing.... we need premier league experience in this position not a 23yr old who has hardly kicked a ball in anger, escpecially not at the money being quoted, even at 5 million i would be suprised.
Something far more obvious and line with what Hughton goes for would be Charlie Adam who is available on a free, 200 odd Prem appearances 31 years of age...wicked delivery from a set piece and great passer of the ball.
I would much rather that.
WARNING YER DA ALERT
I reckon Billy Paynter could run further than Charlie Adam and we don't need mercenaries.
