It was at Coventry where Hall had played under Strachan and so the manager knows Hall's capabilities. Since I criticised the signing of Paul Williams I'll just keep my mouth shut over this one.
Saints sign Hall
Last Updated : 30-Aug-2002 byHall has come in to provide cover to Wayne Bridge down the left. This surely signals the end of Francis Benali's palying career at St. Mary's which is a shame. Hopefully he'll stay at the club in a coaching capacity rather than play in a lower league.
"It does not mean we are about to sell Wayne Bridge but we have been a bit short of cover down that flank so this is a good deal for us. Gordon knows him well and he will be a useful addition for us."
