This. If we had two wing backs doing what Freeman does and getting in the opposition 6 yard box we might find we'd have problems elsewhere. He's physical, good in air and looks a proper left back to me who could probably cover at centre back if needed. They are all qualities we might need more of in a higher divisionIf the package is right for the club then i would be happy enough for Utd to sign this lad up permanently. Hopefully either an 18 month contract or a maximum of 2.5 years deal. No longer than that though.
Solid pro who will give you a steady performance week in week out. Whilst not of the same level admittedly, i recall Dennis Irwin at Man Utd was just a very steady eddie who gave Fergie a 7 out of 10 performance in the league every week. On a lower scale i could see Lafferty doing similar for Utd and he is a natural left footed player. I like him and think there's plenty more to come from him and that he will get better with us over time. As hes out of contract in the summer i think its a formality that he will come in permanently this window too. Would be a solid signing.
When u look at what weve had over the recent years at left back (Mceveley, Harris, Taylor, etc) you realise that perhaps those not wanting Laffs are perhaps just being a tad greedy. We are still only a div 1 club after all - well at least for the next 5 months anyway...
