That other new dude we signed...

Our record signings of Stephane Sessegnon and Victor Anichebe obviously stole the headlines on deadline day for us.

The signing of Marseille midfielder, Morgan Amalfitano, went under the radar almost.

Interesting tweet from CL -

'Morgan Amalfitano seems like a chirpy chap. His transfer never really got a mention yesterday, but Albion really rate him highly. #WBA'

I'm not overly familiar with him so did abit of looking into him.

Morgan Amalfitano
Age 28
Born in Nice, France
Mifielder, who can play anywhere in midfield (pref out wide though)
332 career apps (58 for Marseille)
18 goals
42 assists
1 International cap for France although he has been involved in 3 seperate France squads
Asked to leave Marseille even with the offer of a new contract on the table.
Signed for WBA on loan with a view to becoming permanent already set in place.
He also looks scarily like Derek McInnes.

I think to sum up, he's a better version of Graham Dorrans. He'll add much needed creativity and also has a phenomenal work rate. Although not rapid, he's also no slouch either.

This 'under the radar signing sound like exactly what we need and could turn out to be a big signing for us.
