Fingers cross this guy works out. He's a 50:50, make not mistake about that but we have to take a chance. We are not able to blow £50/60/70m on a sure thing so we have to make gambles like this and hope they pay off.
History tells us that for every signing like this that we make, one in three or four make it so not getting my hopes up in terms of what he is going to deliver. But as a fan it is always more fun anticipating what a new season will bring with fresh faces who have not disappointed us yet than it is with existing players who have already let us down. The not knowing generates an optimism.
