It’s a sensible move rather than a sexy move but you need the sensible ones just as much as the sexy ones. Good squad depth especially considering AFCON. He’s clearly getting injured in early December isn’t he. 

However, we are set in wide positions now which is good but the focus needs to shift to CM and CB urgently. 

Realistically CB can't do anything until we shift someone. We have Kilman, Aguerd, Mavropanos, Todibo, and Casey, with cover from Diouf and Wan Bissaka too. 

4 senior centre backs, a young international, and two international wide players that can cover CB (as well as Alvarez who is also a CB cover and has done so for Mexico).

There's no scope there for another senior CB unless one leaves I'd have thought.

Yeah it’s a problem. And kind of the same one we face in midfield as well. We have to shift some bodies in both positions before we have room to bring in some. We’ve plenty of players just not perhaps the ones we need. We’re going to end up carrying a lot of dead wood thanks to the piss poor transfer policy of the last 2-3 seasons. 

ideally we’d shift Mav and Aguerd- no chance of shifting Kilman- so we can bring in at least one young promising CB with quality and 2 or 3 of the CMs as well for the same reason. It was good to see Guido play yesterday but he looked like a walking red card.

Get some new material

[E6 Hammer]

Disappointed if I’m honest

If he was not good enough for Spurs then he shouldn’t be good enough for us.

We really have zero ambition.

Excellent addition to the squad...but if he starts many games, we've gone wrong somewhere.

Would expect Diouf, Scarles, Wan Bissaka and maybe even Summerville all ahead of him in the Wing Back roles.

Very average player. but will give more effort than the vastly overated Emerson. 2 years of crap football from him.A very Moyes player. Should have gone with him after Prague/
