Welcome Herbert. Will link up really well with our other new signings Jack Wilshire, Jordan Henderson and Didier Drogba.
Yeah, I hope he's not another Danny Drinkwater.Hope he’s match fit, looks like he’s carrying a bit of timber to me
Where does he play? Presumably CM, but what role?
Does this mean Sykes will be a full-time wide man now, as we have a plethora of CMs? I know Karl was (rightly) singing his praises in that position after Saturday's performance, and we know he has been on the hunt for a ton of wingers this window, but only brought in Gavin (so far). Perhaps he's decided he'd rather bring in Herbie in the middle and push Sykes out on the right?
Holland, Bodin, Williams all wide players.Where does he play? Presumably CM, but what role?

Yup, I was half asleep when I sent that...Holland, Bodin, Williams all wide players.
I really don’t understand why the Premiership can have a 20 man match day squad (25 senior man squad limit) but the EFL insist on 18 man match day squad (22 senior man squad - minus goalkeepers) the fact we play more league games 46 to there 38 & numerous cup competition in the early stages as well,The difficulty is with Kane, Gorrin, Brannagan, McGuane and Henry sharing the 3 midfield positions, that leaves Holland, Bodin, Whyte, Williams, Sykes, Taylor and Winnall all competing for 3 forward positions. That's also excluding Cooper and Agyei.
With the reduction in subs we can start 3, and replace them all after an hour and still have players of real quality not getting a game. Squad management will be harder than ever this season, but I guess its a good problem to have!
And why do they all have to be men?? Uh, wake up!!I really don’t understand why the Premiership can have a 20 man match day squad (25 senior man squad limit) but the EFL insist on 18 man match day squad (22 senior man squad - minus goalkeepers) the fact we play more league games 46 to there 38 & numerous cup competition in the early stages as well,
EFL are such a backward organisation there on par with Brian Lee Conference outfit back in the day
