I honestly have no opinion about the lad other than the facts that we needed a RB and now have signed one. A big plus is that he knows the league very well and has worked with Allegri.
Could you guys maybe give more details. What kind of a player have we signed? Is he what we need or could we have done better? Stuff like that would be much appreciated.
