I don't see a problem with his first touch, it maybe only looks bad because we've got used to maclean who has one of the best touch's of any player we've had for a while. As previously mentioned by others my biggest concern would be how often he goes down and him potentially 'believing the hype'.
It now seems the move wont materialise but I was actually at the posh game on Saturday and don't think he'd be geting a look in anyway.
