i like this deal..... while he isnt the player he was a few years ago, it sends the right message.
powell must believe he can have a positive impact in and around the club.... so while showing he will ruthlessly cut anyone who doesnt have the right professional attitude, he is also showing the other side of his decision making.
Also his versatility means he can cover positions 1,3,4,6,7,9... even 13.... well worth a 2 year reduced contract.
