Great loan signing if Adkins manages to pull it off. I watched the Youth Cup Final on sky sports and he looked a real handful. I know Chelsea lost that match but Woods was the best player on the night in my opinion. |

As for woods being better than Cork one is a Defencive midfielder and the other is attacking. we need a holding midfielder to stand any chance of doing well next season. |

You could add Sparrow as an attacking midfielder. I still think Woods would be a decent signing for us as in my opinion he has a lot potential. I reckon he's on a par with Cork in terms of quality. |
