Mullet added 20:33 - Jun 30



A bit like Garner I wasn't entirely sure. His career is a bit similar to Huws' in that he seems to be unloved by his parent club and has done well on loan but never really held down any longevity.



I've done a bit of digging around though and it does make perfect sense. Like Garner did last time I saw him play against us, the fact he scored against us in April in a game so disheartening meant I probably went away disliking him for all the right reasons. It was an instinctive finish though, and seeing it again close up even better despite the hoofed nature of the build up.

Also his return in that side was decent. 6 in 29 is a better average than we can usually expect from our CM's lately. I spoke to a Leeds mate who said he was "like Huddlestone without the range of passing" but I think that's not quite right.



Everything I can find on him from when Roeder heralded his breakthrough at the scum to the video below at Birmingham talks about his physical presence, athleticism and drive. We saw that against the stiffs in April but I probably didn't give it the credence I should have in the circumstances.



What comes across though is that on and off the pitch is very Mick (as we'd expect). He was Brum's young player of the year and he is talked about as the kind of young bloke that reminds me of how MM celebrates Tommy Smith actually.

With Huws we might look like a Cardiff offcut midfield, but there might a little or a lot of understanding between them. I guess we'll see. However the idea of those two doing a lot of the running and graft is so far removed from making Douglas limp in and out of games pointing at where his former self would be as teams skip past us.



Also he's not just big, but this headed goal makes me already think of what Rowe and Celina can do with a cross. If Spence can chip in with some service and Knudsen/Kenlock between him and Garner we might recreate that threat from set pieces that gave us early momentum in 2014/15 from Smith and Berra

He's also the right age. I really like that about our recruitment. These feel like players that might outlast Mick and will see a return for us in terms of service or selling upwards not just jettisoning them.



I think we could do with someone else and maybe that's Tunnicliffe rather than McGinn and maybe that means Andre goes out on loan, or Bishop/Hyam goes (completely) too. It's hard to say what is in Mick's mind and if he anticipated Benyu not returning. But I like the uncertainty right now. This summer already feels different.



One thing that shows Adeyemi in a good light is him doing this sort of nonsense for local media and PR. Although he's not going to be threatening for set piece taker based on this.
