    He has, I understand, played mainly as a right winger.
    Yet we don't play with wingers in a 4-4-2?
    I suppose we have to grab whoever is available for loan at this time but is there now a change of formation in the offing?
    Or back to square pegs in round holes?

    Bit sceptical about this signing.... He was in a Brighton team last season that were struggling at the bottom, this season they chose to not have him back. He's a winger and we don't (currently) play a formation to suit and he is a player that we don't need. A CDM or another ST was priority. Still though, he's here now so hopefully he can impress.

    I am absolutely sure Cotts has signed this guy to contribute, there is no way he would waste his last choice with out purpose, the guy is to canny.

    Alright Robins?

    He's alright. Had some issues with injuries over the last couple of seasons which has limited his playing time. In our first season back in the Prem in 2011-12 he was good (scored a cracking goal against Spurs). More recently he's found it hard to work his way back into the starting XI (or even onto the bench) after his injuries, hence him being loaned out a couple of times. He's been tried out at right back a few times in pre-season. Jury is still out on his ability there.

    IMO he's of a decent Championship standard. Could be alright for you lot, and I hope he does well. <ok>

    No worries.

    Meant to say, in the last couple of seasons he's had Nathan Redmond to contend with for a spot on the right side of midfield, thus it's not too surprising he hasn't featured an awful lot for us.

    Has had injuries and doesn't appear to have had too much game time, hence I guess his being out on loan- Could like up well with Kodija as we are asking far too much of him at the moment

    My mate is a Norwich fan - I asked him the question - Is he any good?

    His reply was:

    "Definitely. A really good performer at Championship level and will add to your squad."
