Hmm. Rambo certainly a quality player, may bring some more fans back, but...

If they've determined there's a hole in midfield that needs addressing, this is a plaster - for what, 4 weeks? Midfield problem will still remain.

Good PR decision though.

Equally, that now means we've 4 loan midfielders - Oli not in good form, Drinkwater vanished after injury, Koumas a non-factor.

Ideally we would all like permanent signings but in reality buying in January means generally paying massively inflated prices for average players......and even then you wouldnt be signing players of the quality of JET, Ramsey and co.

Loaning now in Jan makes total sense....if we are going to pay fee for players do it next season when the market is more reasonable, for now bring in quality :ayatollah:

On Tuesday night we started with a 4-3-3 system which became 4-4-2 when Chopra came on. I'm just wondering if we are seeing a possible move to a 4-3-3 system with these new signings?

Nope. Drinkwater is more mobile, has got a better touch and looked a lot fitter first
half against Stoke. You dont need a bruiser when you got Ramsey in the team.. just
someone who is willing to cover lots of ground off the ball, cos that aint Aarons strong point!

Providing Jones plays Ramsey in midfield and not at right-back......
