Thay will be some signing from what we have already seen.He'd already bought locally before coming to us. The loan package included an option to sign permanently in January and unless injured we'll trigger that option with a 2 1/2 year deal. Feel free to bookmark!!
Yes, it’s nice to see secondhand furniture going to a good home. Sorry about that, it was just the sequence of the posts that made me think that’s what you meant!I'll be very happy if that's the case!

Great postHis composure and passing ability is occasionally pretty ropey, but that’s probably why he’s at this level. That’s the only slightly ‘negative’ thing you could probably say about him currently. His energy and work rate is excellent and he allows the players around him to thrive, especially Dickie and Brannagan. His job is a very simple one but is deceptively difficult to do well, and he does just that. For every mistake he makes he does several things that are vital, and overall it means he gives a hell of a lot more than he ever costs us. Every good team needs that sort of water carrier / grafter who does the dirty work and lets others get on with it, and his mere presence ensures that we’ve always got a good half a dozen players ahead of him who can and want to go forward. When he was sharing the holding role as part of a two it didn’t work - he needs to essentially have a sort of defensive free role where he can operate anywhere along the defensive third. He’s got the legs and the energy to get about and a lot of our play comes because of the freedom and confidence he gives the team. Really becoming one of the first names on the team sheet.

The recruitment team did very well with Gorrin. Even the Morherwell supporters who come on here were not really convinced.His heat map from yesterday:

To play his role requires a lot of intelligence...he spots danger before it happens, he is aware of team mates out of position and covers, plus he makes sure a player won’t get past him (fairly or not!)
His passing is maybe lacking, however when you have Brannagan Henry and Dickie (now one of the best ball playing CBs in the league) around you he can afford to just keep it simple.
It’s worth just watching Gorrin for a half, with and without the ball - it’s impressive his communication and awareness

We seem to have gradually improved the quality of the holding midfield player.
