absolutely none, I grant you.

I'm basing my opinion on

(a) the fact that we were able to outbid Wigan for him, and they knew all about him. If they really rated him, I 'd guess we'd have had no chance

and (b) his goalscoring record, and the write-ups of him, which suggest he is a defensive grafter more than anything else.

If he's cover for Safri, then I think that's fine. If however they play together, then I can't see us doing much attacking from central midfield. Which would mean putting even more pressure on Hucks to create everything than we did before.

I could, of course, be completely wrong. Just the way it looks to me.
