Although I said earlier the timing is odd, it is never the less the right move at the present time. He'll be our number 1 sooner rather than later I think.
Does anyone else find this a bit odd? He was here for a year anyway and is now only on a one year deal. This meant we had used our 2nd loan slot on deadline day and couldn't use it for a striker. I recognise this opens up a slot for a Jan loan signing, but why didn't we do this and pay a fee?
