Looks like he was deployed as a left back early on this season with Chesterfield and then moved further upfield when Jack Lester was appointed manager. If we did sign him as a left midfielder wouldn't the midfield be a little to lightweight?
If we were signing him as a left back I'd much prefer his ex-teammate at both Man Utd and Wigan Reece James, much bigger, seems composed on the ball (looks up when he crosses) and seems to have an ability to defend. Probably going to a different league one side after his Wigan release.

But to stay on topic, Andy Kellitt became notorious for this goal;

He can play left back, on the wing or centre midfield. Looked quality against us imo. Having versatile players at our level can help massively, given we don't have a endless pot of cash. O'Connor is quality in our league, however we can't just wait around on the off chance he will stay. Tbh with you i have a funny feeling both O'Connor and Dickinson will end up back at Port Vale. Also i know a few Chesterfield fans that, have spoken very highly of the link up between Kellett and Dennis, so if we can get both that would be decent.
He seemed to play pretty much everywhere against Notts on TV! Looked a good player - comfortable on the ball, composed, intelligent.
That said, I do hope O'Connor signs as well. Him and Hewitt in the centre would provide a good platform for more creative players to shine.
Playing devils advocate. This Kellet fella had a good game against us? So people assume he is ‘quality’. If he AND Dennis were that good Chesterfield would not have been so comfortably relegated.
This is starting to remind me of Lewis Alessandra. People last season said he was quality against us, how did his season pan out? 5/10 most games for me with a sprinkling of good performances.
I wonder who is recommending these non and ex-league players to us. If they are experienced scouts, fair enough, I hope they find us diamonds in amongst the rubbish. "The Management" has said, though, that we will have a smaller squad this season. If this squad contains players with promise but inexperience, then that may mean dropping them occasionally while they learn League 2 and THAT will mean back-up for them, injuries, and suspensions won't it?
