He does have the ability to be an attacking goal scoring midfielder whether CH could control the other sides of him is debatable. If he could he would be a great asset to us but one wonders if Sur Alex, Big Sam and Harry cant who could?
My point is had West Ham retained him he could have joined us on a 93 day loan so why cant he sign for Lewes then be loaned to us with us paying his wages and then not play for Lewes, which as you say he cant.
I thought it was 2 clubs and a third on emergency loan which is what was said about Murray coming back having played for Reading and Crystal Palace so could only come to us on loan.
Played for West Ham and Cardiff so not permitted unless there is a way to circumvent the 93 day loan. Could he sign for Lazio and being unable to play for them sign for us on loan or in a bizzare situation sign for Lewes 4 month contract and be loaned to us with us agreeing to pay all his wages.
