Superflash 0 Posted June 11, 2009 Sorry, but I''m partially with Wizard on this one. It''s not exactly like anybody else wants to take a chance on a knackered 34 year old. Still, I''m pleased he''s up for it and if nothing else he should be comfortable in the third tier. As another poster said, the next priority should definately be a keeper.
