If he stays fit, has to be a hit you'd think?
I do find it weird though the people who say he was great for Wolves when they played us - it was nearly 10 years ago...

Hit for me, too. Assuming he stays fit like Dick said. Exeter fans say he can still a boss and that his vision and passing is still Prem level. Just can't play 90 minutes. One we'll have to manage carefully.
Also interesting that we wanted both him AND Williams.

For me the success of this signing all hinges on who we sign to play alongside him - assuming Hughes will at some point roll out his dogshit 4-3-3 formation.
Smallwood, McDonald & Gilliead 🤢🐌
Smallwood, McDonald & somebody quick and mobile 👌

Big hit until Hughes's coaching starts getting into his game then he gets dropped for Gilliead

Sounds a lot like Andrew Davies tbh. Hit, or out injured for 7 months of the season.

It'll be a McDonald and Smallwood partnership with Walker at 10.
McDonald hasn't come to sit on the bench and neither of the other two are getting dropped. We needed serious energy and pace in that area and we've fucked it already and it's only mid June.

We needed serious energy and pace in that area and we've fucked it already and it's only mid June. I think there's definitely another 1 or 2 centre mids to come in. I've got this feeling Gilliead isn't coming back (watch him be announced tomorrow) and I don't think Hughes rates East. Osadebe was terrible when he came back so I definitely think there will be some legs still to come.

He’s mustard but can only do sixty minutes according to Exeter fans. Couple the fact that he’s a year older and Hughes will over rely on him and it all adds up to a long term injury before coming back to never being the same player again.

I watch MOTD and EFL highlights every week and the odd live game, but 99% of the players just don't register with me. Wasn't like that when I was younger but I've not got room in my head for it now.

I hadn't heard of pretty much 85-90% of all the players we've signed in the past 10 years.

He's an excellent passer of the ball. I look forward to all those perfectly weighted throughballs for Cook to not have the pace to run onto.

Also interesting that we wanted both him AND Williams. with that said he didn’t get a club u til January so with a pre season under him surely we can get more minutes out of him than Exeter we’re able too

Not a single appearance in pre-season. Hit.
