I'm perplexed by the move to be honest
We have no left-back and our only striker capable of netting double figures is injured but have six midfielders who can realistically expect to be first-teamers. My only thought is that Guy Moussi might be off as he's out of contract, in which case the qualities you describe are exactly what we need.

He is literally the most pointless player I have ever seen.
When he played on the left at the end of last season though, to be fair, he was ace. But we have Duff and Dembele who play there normally and they're both miles better than him. If we get 600k for him we've robbed you.

Doesn't every team have one of these players?
We had Bracewell (twice) and Thirlwell who were both called "crab" as they only went sideways

I think it was Ray Wilkins who first coined the name

Barry Ferguson, once of Rangers
was frequently known in my house as 'Spongebaz Squarepass' as that's all he ever did.

If he can play left-BACK he's most welcome
Left-sided midfielder is the only area we have an embarrassment of riches in, however. I imagine he'll be a defensive midfielder, and is being bought because he played for Schteve at Middlesborough

fans give him stick because of the sideways passing
but he hardly ever gives the ball away by aimlessly hoofing it long. That's why managers like him.

That sounds perfect for us, frankly
The last thing we need in front of our back four is someone who belts it upfield as if there are five Peter Crouches ahead of him

He is brilliant if you're 3-0 up.
But we are never 3-0 up.

He caused exactly the same arguments at West Brom
to be honest we sold quite a lot of players to Fulham at huge mark-ups.

You should both bear in mind
that if Greening turns out to be shite, I am holding you both personally responsible. Ditto Nicky Shorey, if we get him.

fuck off we're keeping Shorey
I believe we're getting rid of Marek Cech though

We got Greening for free.
Fun fact of the day there for you.

Thoroughly indecent of you to turn a profit then innit
