Ok I've had time to digest this news. My thoughts are:
- Surely this is a 'cheap' signing so we can use the rest of the funds on a bigger signing like Doucoure, and also have enough for Andre in the summer
- He is experienced, captain, incredibly hard worker, understands the DM role, decent on the ball, and great injury record and availability
- Surprisingly good in the air
- The rumored fee is still high for what he is brought in for
- He is definitely an unplanned back up signing given it's happening late in the window and after two set backs for our primary targets. So we really need to get a proper Sporting Director in asap.
