Anyone fill me in on Matt Crooks please?

What is his natural position? Who is he similar to in this league?

I had him down as an unorthodox type no.10 but my limited internet search has him down as a defensive midfielder.

Thanks in advance.

He's a big, physical player that can play as a CM, a 10 or up top - IIRC he played about a 3rd of his games in each position last year. He was a real handful when we played vs them - and then in the 2nd game got sent off for the very soft elbow.

He would be a player NW can move throughout the line up, should be able to chip in with probs 10+ goals/assists in a good year.

He's a tall central midfielder, and that's really all you need to know because it's the only reason we are signing him.

Ah, the duality of man.

Well it's certainly not about passing the ball and that.

That would employ that the midfielders actually touches the ball and not just looks at it while it sails over them.

Thanks @Brunners and @Changing Times

A midfield 3 of one of Howson/Morsy sitting and Crooks and Payero slightly ahead of them possibly beckons. 

The scenes when Payero and the Brazilians don't materialize and our summer business consists of below average championship sloggers.

People do realise that Payero plays midfield like McNair does?  He isn't a sublime number 10, dicky-dancing his way into our hearts like the little fella.  He's about perspiration rather than inspiration, at least according to that wyscout thing (I assume they are accurate otherwise it would be pretty useless).

Strange how the gazette or echo aren’t running the crooks story yet

Maybe it's not true?  None of the ITK types on here managed to mention it, despite all posting over the last few days.  Mind, they also didn't get Paterson either.  They have been pretty spot on telling us things that aren't happening though 🤺

I think Warnocks direct connections/links with players, managers and agents, are outside the scope of the ITKs.

Maybe it’s not true. I love the ITK info like everyone does but my personal opinion is that info has been kept very quiet this summer, don’t think anyone mentioned uche and peltier deals.
