Balanta is a very decent player, would do well at our level. I doubt we'd sign both him AND Worrall though, will probably be one or the other (if either!).

 

[Jamie Manktelow]

Angelo Balanta is a class player. Easy League 1 level player.

 

[Ricky Otto]

Balanta was highly thought of by my QPR supporting mates

Fair play to Brown, the one thing we were missing for most of last season (until the last couple of months when we hit good form) was pace. We already have Weston, if someone like Balanta were signed too that isn't something we'd have to worry about in 2014/15.

Got to like a centre-half called Mads.

Most telling comment: "he’s also very good on the ball"

Was an option off the bench.....

Rarely used though. We were very predictable up until the likes of Loza and Murphy signed.

Ref Balanta my cousins husband is an MK Dons fan

His view:

'' enjoy. Not bad. Average. He will be fine for you guys. Gives as much as he can give physically always 100% mentally"

Always worry when people argue someone will be good 'at this level'. Usually a sign they are on the way down.
Brown certainly likes wingers doesn't he - surprising for a bloke that plays 3 in midfield.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

What he was looking for, is pacy wide players who can support Corr or Barnard up front, in either attacking 4-3-3 or wide using 4-4-2.
