"He's predominantly a right-sided player, who is very quick and he's keeping JJ out of the Jamaican national side at the moment, so that tells you something about him.

I think Todd is mistaken here. If memory serves me correct it is Jamal Campbell Ryce who is keeping JJ out of the national team at the moment.Speaking of Campbell RyceWatfordis trying to buy him. If he can make the jump to the EPL that would be another piece of great news to go along with Luton and Omar.

If Todd has sense he will keep JJ at outside mid and put Omar right behind him at right wingback. That would be murder for the teams to try and defend in Bradford's division. AsTilla will tell you....with Donovan Ricketts behindthem Bradford can't be stopped!- T.K.
