I actually think it’s good for the game he moves to Wire as it will only strengthen them and the game as we need a good group of top clubs with top players in the league rather than a spread of a load of average clubs with one or two stars in there.

OK, the French were second rate, but it was refreshing to see a team made up of many clubs, rather than the top few.
