Lets be honest we aren't brilliant at the back and he has played for some relatively successful teams, although I don't think our mentality of midfielders going backwards and dallying on the ball has helped our defence.
We're short at full back but we've signed a centre half on loan that is arguably no better than what we've already got. Hope I proved wrong, but smacks of a signing for the sake of it.
Re: We're short at full back sounds like a beautiful hybrid, of peter markstedt, andy rammell and andy savage....if only
Re: In which case Good defender from what I remember in his Toon days, made the move south and was one of the early decent money signings as part of the 'four year plan'. No nonsense defender. Can play right full back
Re: We're short at full back It frees Wiseman up to play at FB. And I would argue he is as good as our better players and better than some so Iimproves the match squad.
Re: In which case Played nearly every game last year as first choice and scored 4 goals..might not be a bad signing
