Agreed, he is better than what we've got at the minute, but if he's the maximum amount of ambition this club has got then I give up
His contract at Burnley lasts until 2010, I don't imagine he'd have signed a shorter contract with us. If we're taken over and are going to build a team for the Premiership he won't be first choice for long, he'll just be a burden on the wage bill like so many players the last few years.
If we don't get taken over we probably wouldn't want to offer a player such a long contract on highish wages anyway.
