I have always liked Macintosh but as a full back but i guess it looks like the club are likely to use him as a wing unless of course Connor is on his way out

There's always that possibility until the re signing of Connor is confirmed though with the timing of the announcement of Faraimo and news of McIntosh I'd like to think its as replacement for Faraimo than due to losing Connor.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

But other than that has got the ability to be an excellent winger.

his meters out of backfield on that small pitch will be huge plus for Cas ? imo if turner can change fans opinion on his signing their fans will love Bureta.

i did hear online rumor that mau`s agent had been hawking his services round other SL clubs a few weeks back, so i would hope on a reduced contract if he stays (imo he dont seem the great line runner/breaker billed when signing ?) or is it how we use him

Matt Shaw broke the story on Mcintosh too.
It's not certain till he's announced, but I'm pretty confident after reading Matt broke the story.
He seems well connected to Hudds, and tends to get more right than wrong.
Looking at his stats I was surprised the amount of metres he makes. Racking up over 120m per game, apart from the .match against wakey when he played FB.

They offered McIntosh a two year contract extension.
