from what I remember reading about him last year, Liverpool would have kept him had it not been for his bad knee injury, same as King at Rovers. Top flight clubs would only take a slight gamble on the absolute top quality players if they had suffered injuries as those two have. The fact that they would have liked to have kept him but didn't says to me that he had the quality to challenge for a place in their squad but they didn't expect him to have become a regular first teamer. That's good enough for me, but what I saw of him at Grimsby was that he was able to create space so easily, and we have nobody who can do that at this moment.

If we play players in their correct positions then he would be the holding player and Craney the creator in a flat four midfield - that is two good footballing brains in the engine room so for me things are looking up there. We will of course still accomodate at least Harris or Proctor if not both of them by playing a five man midfield or shoving Craney up front.


there is now a five minute interview with Mannix online.
