Glad that's sorted, should hopefully be decent as he's been training with us a while. Just read the article great that he can play in a number of positions, hopefully exactly what we need.

 

UTM!

Certainly the right age.  Like most others, not seen him play but a two and a half year deal suggests we rate him and see it as more than a punt.  Welcome to the Millers, and good luck to the lad.

Ye, seems good. biggrinbiggrin

Is that defence sorted now?

Obviously we're always looking to improve if we can. It was great to get Rawson, this lad can play LB Mattock has been good from what I've seen of him, just hope he stays fit? With Wood coming back, he's done well out on loan and I liked the look of him last season, he also has experience successful Championship relegation battles which can't hurt. Facey sounds good, Redfearn mentioned yesterday that Richardson back. He comes under the category of past his best for me and we've got a few too many like that due age, injury or both, but don't think he's as bad as what some have said he gives his all and could maybe do a job till the end of the season? Then there's Buxton and Kelly, could maybe be put into the same category? Not sure. Think Buxton will off, Kelly looks decent the little I've seen of him, could be be good for cover if he ever gets fit again. lol

2.5 years!!!

very left footed isnt he...

Might be good to get some of the Africans in town down to the NYS.

Is this our first ever Tunisian?

Biggest asset seems to be his strength and doesnt look slow.

Looks lightweight for me to play centre half

Give the lad a warm welcome, all on MM probably miffed cause we signed a Muslim.

 Yeah true. 

 

Was thinking of the inside left position. 

 

He's quite an antelope but good use of body seems a trademark. Looks a little loose with the ball at times. On the other hand he also mops up when needed.

 

Clearly mattock has paid the price for inconsistencies. 

 

Need something better everywhere though don't we.

 

Right back

2 in midfield

That elusive striker

Another centre back.

 

Strange we have a keeper and a left back so far , which relatively are the least needed. I said relatively.

let's hope he isn't like Greg Halford-not sure where his best position is and therefore gets shunted allover.

I quite like the look of the lad. Would agree that he looks lightweight but does seem to be observant and put some good passes out, he is nimble and fast going forward, he can also break up the attack and seems to time his tackles well. Of course that is all seen from the Youtube footage, on the day on a grey cold windy NYS up against some tough seasoned pro's it may be different, we shall see, but it looks like he has come with without any pre madonna ideas of the big I am which is refreshing. All in all I'm upbeat about the lad.

He might be able to cover left back if needed but I doubt he is in to replace Mattock. I get the impression he has been signed primarily as a left centre back or holding midfielder.
