Read some comments from Omer that shows a level of maturity and diligence.

He was being asked about a last minute opportunity around Karlan Grant.
Many managers would have jumped at it, especially as two other targets allegedly failed to be completed.
We've seen last minute signings in the past that seem OK on the face of it, but fail to come off.
Riza appears to be a man with a plan that he sticks to.

"I don’t like to rush transfers and get something done quickly - just because something comes up"
 
Just reading that Omer sees Alves as a winger.
Apparently Ruud van Nistelrooy agrees.

Doesn't look as if he'll play in the 10 role.

Hopefully we'll see a bit of him at Stoke.

Views on the 3 new guys?

Mannsverk. It’ll need some coaching to get him to adapt his playing style from the more sedate Dutch league to the pace of the Championship.

Alves. Certainly showed some promise. He’s got pace but his crossing though needs some work.

Salech. Can’t fault his goal ratio and having a big forward creates more space in the opposition final third. His heading needs to be worked on though.

Right on all 3 accounts.

Mannsverk = effort

Alves = flair

Salech = presence

And we've needed a bit of all 3.
Hoping Mannsverk provides some drive in the engine room, Alves puts defences on the back foot and Salech unsettles the CBs.
All will provide opportunities for the rest of the team. Especially if they all chip in with a few goals.
