I'd have him around 4th choice atm, but that providing he has his head screwed on, and with the depth not crucial, personally I wouldnt have touched him with a barge pole, nothing spectacular and too much baggage
You never can tell Steve. We, and no doubt other clubs, have a history of players who were 'nothing spectacular' with 'too much baggage', who have come good. A change of scene/coach can often provide a kick start to a player's career.
I'm quite happy to give him a chance and judge him on how he does for us, rather than how he is perceived by others.
