Due a quiet game tbh.

Only time he's struggled so far was when up against Samba of Blackburn, so it'll be interesting to see how Dunne handles him.

That's if we ever get the ball I suppose :o

Got to be £7m at least

Don't think he'd look half as good without his intelligent sidekick tbh.

Is Kenwyne Jones a forward, or actually really a midfielder, despite everyone else claiming he's a forward?

Started his career as a "utility" player according to Wiki, which means he used to be ****. Not sure how far back, lots of players start off in different positions when young </BLOCKQUOTE>

From RTG messageboard and a poster on there who is UK/Europe officer for the TnT national fan club (and more than a little bit bias as far as they are concerned).

At 6'2" and very strong, he's great in the air. Plays as a striker at the moment, but came into the T&T squad as a utility player, because he's also a good defender. And it was 18 goals he scored last season, with 16 in the Championship league. This while being out with injuries for roughly a quarter of the season.

That said, he's 22 years old, and just now honing his football and his technique. Maybe it has to do with the fact that he didn't spend his teenage years playing constant football, I dunno. But he is improving year on year.

In the modern game it may be a bit late to be still learning, but to that I say one thing - Ian Wright didn't start playing football till his mid 20's. And he's one of the Premiership all time great goal scorers. So who knows.
