Pre-season isn't an ideal time to fully judge the team or individuals, it's just an indicator if nothing else.
It's when the real stuff starts that counts.
I like to think (not being cocky) that I've got a fairly decent eye for a player (maybe I could take over from Russ
) but after 5-10 minutes you could tell that there's something good about Jon Gallagher.
I'll be first to admit my cynicism when I heard we'd signed a "utility" player from the MLS.
But I'd be open to offering Atlanta a reasonable sum to make it permanent as I think he'd be a good asset.
Quick, direct, works hard...maybe just needs to work on the final ball a bit, but worth his place in the starting X1 out wide I'd say.
