Good signing, free, still only 29 years old, had positive impact on us when he played last season and you’d hope with a full pre-season behind him he’ll be more robust this season.
I’d actually prefer him to Phillips, more reliable, younger and we know what we’re getting for a fraction of the cost.
Arblaster will play a bigger role this season and be back to his best, so it will be him and one other in the midfield. Rothwell and Jairo should be good partner for him and then hopefully we can add another with mobility and legs to replace Peck (who’s most likely on his way out).
Despite the panic about central midfield, I actually think we’ll be alright in there next season, I think Rothwell will surprise us, and I can’t believe how so many fans have written off Arblaster. Just need a good, energetic replacement for Peck.
