    Yeah, he's way too good for this level.

    Oh, he got a goal and 2 assists just a few days ago in the FA Cup. He may not be quite at the level he was before his health issues but he'll still be absolute quality in the Championship.

    KWP plus David Brooks on the right will cause a lot of left backs to have terrifying nightmares.

    No option to buy unsurprisingly.

    Brilliant player. Slightly concerned about whether his lack of playing time will mean he takes a while to get up to speed. Although he has been playing for more Bournemouth recently so assume he is getting match fit.

    He destroyed Swansea just the other day. His second assist was superb. He won't need any time.

    Yeah I did see that and it did make me more keen on the signing.

    Not that you can judge from 70 minutes in a cup game where an already struggling Swansea made a few changes, but he did look very sharp.

    His performance vs Swansea has allayed my previous concerns that he might take a while to get to speed. He's ready!

    And consequently I'd be delighted at this.

    I can only assume Adarma will move into a central role to accommodate Brooks.

    I can’t put up with all of these good news stories. Unbeaten run, good performances and decent sensible signings.

    Brooks is a very tidy player, will balance the team and some of those draws could be turned into wins with this signing.

    Right, I'm way to happy so off to listen to some Morrisey.

    Since we were linked I’ve noticed he’s been getting on the pitch for Bournemouth relatively regularly so assumed this wouldn’t happen. Fantastic news if it does, and think he’ll be up to fitness to play a part immediately from what Ive seen.

    The trouble is he far less effective when moved into the middle of the front three

    Part of the reason for that was we didn't have anyone effective to play RW.
