Re: Vitinho

I'm a big fan but he's an enigma of a player. I said last season he had terrific movement and might be better a tier above. He finds space that his teammates don't always even notice to pass to. He can just pop up somewhere or find a way through/behind incredibly well. He's not as good a dribbler a...

Re: Andros Townsend

I'd like to think he'd have nailed that cross to Foster much better that Guddy did. 2 x Haaland on top of each other wouldn't have got to that.

One a free signing, he certainly wouldn't have detracted from the squad. His performances I've seen for Luton this season he's been a massive asset.
