Just remind me exactly why, other than everyone telling everyone else how good he is, we should be even considering buying this player without going anywhere need the 'Scotch Mist' of potential.
He is better than average in a slightly better than average team. The same team that make Barry, who was an average player in our team look a bloody world beater!
In short, this has got Scott Sinclair stamped all over it.

The Premier League's big three spenders are preparing for a £30million transfer battle which will shatter the world-record fee for a teenage footballer.
Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City have all made known their interest in Everton's midfield sensation Ross Barkley.
He is seen by some as an even better prospect than another Goodison Park product, Wayne Rooney, and is set to top the £25.6m United paid for the then 18-year-old seven years ago.
Although Everton will fight to hang on to Barkley, who is not 18 until December, their dire financial situation has made them vulnerable to big offers. Barcelona and Real Madrid are also monitoring the situation.
One top representative said: 'I thought Stevie Gerrard was the best kid in his position that I've ever seen, but Barkley is as good. There's no doubt he is going to be a top player.'
Barkley's progress is all the more remarkable following his horrific triple leg fracture playing for England Under-19s in Belgium last year, which put him out for 10 months.
England coach Noel Blake remembers the incident, a collision with team-mate Andre Wisdom, vividly. 'I still don't feel comfortable thinking about it, as it was so upsetting,' he said.
'Thankfully, he has recovered and it shows his strength of character that he has got back so quickly.'
David Moyes has never been afraid to follow the old adage 'if they're good enough, they're old enough'.
But the Everton manager is determined to nurture Barkley's talents at the right pace...

What is the source for this. If Moyes was Everton manager at the time of writing, the article must be six months old.
