This seems to have gone awfully quiet - has the Rodwell signing meant this is canned?
Anyone have any updates?

He was decent but looked way too slow to succeed in the prem. Also Suarez was brilliant in pre season and it may have only been against Limerick but he was top class and looks like a potential world beater so to say Biton looked better than him is a bit of a joke.
Did you watch EVERY pre-season game Niall? The 'joke' comments suggests not. My 'different league' reference was to do with readiness to play NOW. I like Suarez too but we have huge competition is his spot, and Limerick is hardly the acid test eh? We need a player like Nir Biton as cover NOW.
As far as pace goes, there are many attributes to a good midfielder. Has Gareth Barry succeeded in the Premier League?
He didn't look any slower than Razak & is probably quicker than DeJong & definitely quicker than Barry.

Bitter Biton I suspect - tbf he had two chances to impress but a year older than Rodwell and with Razak coming on strong I think the work permit issue was a bridge too far.

That's a shame but as we have Rodwell and Razak now, plus visibly a top midfielder (DDR) on our radar, it's not too surprising. What I did thought we might have done, given how talented but unknown he is, was to buy him, loan him to a high profile league, then sell at a major profit unless he really stood out.
