    Sounds like East was Watts replacement. This fella more than likely replacing Gareth Evans spot in the squad who could operate in the middle or as a wide man.

    Walsall fans on twitter are not impressed with him. Says he has an attitude. I am sure we have done due diligence, just a bit worrying. I like players who roll their sleeves up when the going gets tough

    This is what we are getting…Two year old video…….before he joined Walsall.

    Pace, agility, pass and move. What is not to like? I wonder what position MH/GH have in mind?

    Not necessarily midfield?

    10 mins worth a watch

    Lets hope the other Irish lads like Kelleher, Staunton and possibly Paudie help him settle in and keep him in line :p

    Not interested what they have to say now they have lost him! . This forum was crying out for someone with “ attitude” a few short weeks ago.

    25 years old. Good age again. More mobility and energy in the middle which is what we need.

    Midfield a position where we've been lacking numbers for a while so a welcome addition. I'll be honest I've never heard of him so haven't a clue what his game is all about. Lets see what he can do.

    Saw that myself. Gent and Hughes have obviously seen something in him mind. We do have a few CMs at the moment with another rumoured to come in. Only 2 spaces available when you take Walker out of the equation.

    Can assume his ability to play wide was also a factor. I see this signing as a squad player at this moment in time. Merely an option.

    Let's hope Hughes selects him to play in his '1 good game in 7' then ;)

    I hadn’t either. Apparently he was embroiled in a racism row with Walsall fans last year and the relationship soured badly. He sounds like a bit of a loose cannon. On a two year deal we’ve taken a big risk here.

    Few quotes on him from Flynn here;

    Well I could be wrong but I could make Theo Robinson look like Harry Kane with some clever editing and glimpses of his best bits.

    Let's hope he us better than the Walsall fans are saying then.

    I will naturally trust Hughes and Gent with this signing as I know little about him and his style.

    Looks to be one of those versatile signings that most managers like on board. What's his best position though, out wide or central I wonder?.
