I'd happily take our scenario of getting a proven premiership footballer in for the season in a less important position (left back is important, but not quite as important as the central spots) and then spend the saved transfer fee, signing on fee and commited 3 years of wages on the midfielder...
A medical still needs to be done to ascertain whether the player meets the clubs physical standards.
Especially off the back of the summer, it is vital to run full body scans to pick up on any potentially unnoticed muscle tears of strains. It's 5 weeks until he kicks a competetive ball for us...
I'm glad someone else posted this because I didn't want to be the one to do it.

I mean, this is a PROVEN prem left back. What a brilliant signing.
