I'm not sure I've ever felt so underwhelmed at an Albion signing of this quality. Not because I'm not pleased with Norwood, but because of who we could have been signing!

Anyway, welcome Oliver. A solid signing who adds real depth to our midfield (as long as this doesn't mean anyone else moving on).

Before anyone mentions Stephens leaving. Look carefully at Hughton's quotes: "extra options" and "further depth". That - to me - indicates that no one is leaving

A very good player!

Looks a decent addition :rock:

Squad back up to 25 players.

Although I suspect this is Holla's replacement and he is off very soon.

As he's described as a defensive midfielder, you'll have to forgive my whelm for being somewhat under.

Feels like 3rd prize at a beauty contest. Where there were 3 entrants.

Probably a couple of £m, he's in his last year of his contract.

Great set pieces and range of passing - and when he's having a good game, the team will. Otherwise truth be told, his style kind of slowed us down. We have different styles of football though, and I don't think he worked very well with Danny Williams.

Time will tell.

5 or 6 central midfielders for a 46-49 game league season.

Kayal, Stephens, Sidwell, Norwood, Towell ... Ince .... .... Holla

Well Andrew Crofts was never replaced, JFC is out on a season long loan too. I think we were down on numbers, and when injuries, suspensions etc. start to bite he will come into his own.
