He remains my earliest "I know it's early" pick in that I picked him as garbage and a waste of time before I had actually seen him kick a football in anger. He truly was a very odd signing, in a window of very odd signings. Thank God the other bloke who I said was garbage (Riera) has proved me totally wrong or it would be hard to argue any of the signings have been hugely successful. Hopefully Degan isn't on too long a contract as the club we "acquired" him off couldn't sell him for a fee, and unless he is at least occasionally fit neither will we either.
Just about the best thing you could say about him is that he didn't cost 7 million quid. There is also the possibility I suppose that as he's hardly featured, if he ever does on a semi regular basis he might be OK. I know his career to date would suggest otherwise and I'm probably clutching at straws, but there must be some reason why we've signed him surely?
