No he f***ing isn't. He is absolute dross.
We have 0 out and out replacements if Jonas/Routledge get injured currently. Will mean shunting Guthrie, Barton or Vuckic out there I'd imagine or god forbid one of the strikers. Lets hope Chris saw Shola's efforts on the wing back in the day - woeful.
Decent option doesn't mean I think he's good. Ryan Taylor will at least pick up a couple of assists and will allow us to be a threat from set-pieces (Guthrie too). Dare I say with half the games Ryan Taylor could probably rack up the same amount of assists as Jonas.
We aren't in a position to get cover and good, cheap wingers are hard to come by. For me, Ryan Taylor provides decent cover in the right-back and right-mid areas.
