So either we’re taking a player on loan until January (his new club is saying very clearly he won’t be here beyond then), who didn’t want to sign for us and who his new club have let us borrow almost out of pity (KR is the one who outright said that CC contacted us because they knew how much we wanted him and how hard we tried, bless our cotton socks), or this is actually some dodgy way to try to get a cheaper deal.
I don’t think either of those outcomes are particularly great. Nothing against the lad and I hope that for as many games as he does play for us in any capacity that he does tremendously well, but it’s either very dodgy or we’re merely so desperate that we’re willing to take someone on loan for half a season who didn’t want to be here.
