I'm fairly neutral about ex-players returning but the question is is he the
best use of £4 million this summer?
Is it the best we can get in the position he plays and do we need strengthening
there?
If so would rather have him than a random Italian but not at the expense of
another decent striker and replacements for the loanees we have lost.
