if a team tends to have a lot of posession against sides and likes methodical build up play as opposed to pacey counter attacks i think he`ll do a good job.
potter can see a decent pass and has quite a lot of vision but again his pace lets him down. these days the prem is so quick you need to be almost an athlete as well as a footballer.
Thats great news too mate, coz although the game up here has a rep for being so fast paced, its slowed alot more down now with teams not frightened to get the ball down and get in amongst the rangers and celtic. I think mellor could be excellent addition for us, as he will get a bag full of chances, my only worry was that he wouldn't find the net for us.
thanks for that, the hearts fans will love you for that comment
