I dunno.
He may actually do well there. Best of luck to him.
"...by English standards he would fit in more as a water-carrier,..." Ouch. That's a bit extreme.
Sounds like this deal is off. The Quakes traded for Orlando City's Darwin Ceren (who fills a similar hole) in a move that freed up money to sign a striker, which was a bigger concern.
