From what I have seen, he's a comfortable mid table premiership player, which considering where we are at right now, that's only a good thing.
Hopefully, there are a couple more exciting signings further down line.
I presume you think Hayden will be let go?
Dont think Rafa wants (ideally) him as 3/4th choice tbh. Doubt he minds him staying but i think if get a decent offer then yes, he might let him go.
There should be a queue of championship clubs after Hayden, if indeed Ki is a replacement for Hayden.
Centre mid. Good on the ball, likes a set piece and gets himself about the pitch well enough. Probably guilty of not fulfilling his potential throughout his career.
This is only a good signing if it frees up funds for Rafa.
In an ideal world, us signing Ki might allow us to move onto other priorities. It could be another reason why we've been reluctant to spend.
Makes the Sturaro (sp) links look a less likely.
