Yes - he was available then. As proved by the fact that he's signed, however twisted a deal it might be. Not sorry to have missed out on him, though - his Roma record really suggests his career has gone through the floor; no doubt he'll collect plenty of Wonga strolling around LA though.
Exactly. That's what I said.
The point was for temporary cover to help us out of a temporary staff shortage in the left back department - exactly what short term loans are for; wouldn't have cost us too much either, so excellent value. Never said he was great - but good to be getting on with...
Really? I'd have said Bong, Rosenior, Murphy and Hemed in the summer were a considerable step up from previous windows.
Knockeart and Ridgwell are good to be going on with in this window too.
