Due to sign from Norwich, but only for a month. Assuming its just a stop gap, until O'Brien is back fit. Tonge for the season though

He might be OK, but I can't help but think, is he actually better than what we have already got? Surely RNL or Alistair Taylor should be stepping up.
I hope it's not another case of Cameron Park.

I'm not getting too worked up about short term loans just now. I trust this is just tactical, to get us through the season and that Hill has strategic targets, for the start of next season.

it does'nt say much about our young midfielders getting a 20 year old on loan nice confidence booster for them

Come on guys, let's be fair to the lad, he's not kicked a ball yet. You have to remember that Taylor was a fairly well-established player at Norwich - he's made 60-odd appearances in a Championship-winning team so yes, of course he's likely to be better than RNL or Taylor. In fairness, RNL has been injured and we all witnessed how totally out of his depth Taylor was on Saturday, so let's be realistic here.
My only concern is that he's been injured, so is it Addison deja vu; on loan for a month just up until the point he regains match-fitness and starts being effective...?

Quite right, Madrush! Someone who can get upto speed as soon as possible.
It's not a negative, this lad is 3 years older than RNL, we can't afford the luxury of playing inexperienced young players until we reach 53 points.
Be patient with the youngsters, there are a few good prospects and KH will know the right time to bring them in. We should trust the manager's judgement.

Actually upon closer inspection, I think he is a CM. I was under the impression we had brought a winger in. OK two 6" CM, I'm happy with that, we certainly need players in that department.

Happy, and the forgotten eighth dwarf "Perky".
