Diamond....... Woods Allen Clucas Etebo Where do Ince and McClean fit in there though? Surely it would have to be a 3 midfield with Woods sitting in. If it was me I'd give Etebo the nod over Joe but can't see Rowett dropping him. Squad game. Bauer and Knudsen bombing down the wings, Afobe and Sam Gallagher causing havoc up front. It will be breathtaking........

BTW 6.5m is 4 Preston starting XI’s ... WAS not IS. Pearson is worth upwards of £10million now, APPARENTLY. So it’s half a Ben Pearson.

Born in Cannock too so move towards his home town might suit him geographically aswell. Could share lifts with Saido..!

Supporters player of the year last season. Dynamic holding midfield player. When was the last time we signed a player on the way up and not a player on the way down? I like the sounds of this one. Exactly what we need. It would suggest that Clucas hasnt been brought here specifically to be the first choice DCM.

Clucas is going to be a left midfielder in the way pulis used Rory there on occasion and cresswell isn't he? Let's just hope he's more Nigel gleghorn than George siebeck

Let's just hope he's more Nigel gleghorn than George siebeck At the moment, I'm quite happy with any sentence that includes the words left midfielder but doesn't include the words James McClean.

A midfielder ... how unusual. Allen Ndiaye Etebo Sörensen Cameron Clucas Ince Fletcher Adam McCleyn Imbula Choupo-Moting Bojan Verlinden . . . Woods Are those three dots in your list denoting the spaces you think we still need to fill? We are going to need 2 team coaches. One for the CMs, one for everyone else!

If he's under 30 and not riddled with gout he can only be an improvement.

Im absolutely baffled. We're collecting midfielders. Never seen this guy but why didn't we go for him in the Summer if hes what we need ? There doesn't seem any plan whatsoever.

Real good player, just the sort we need

Would be an excellent signing but I just can’t comprehend the amount of central midfielders we will have.
And it means we will definitely have to go down the 433 route which still leaves questions about Afobe being isolated and Mclean as part of a front 3.
Still, It’s very encouraging news to be after a player who is exactly what we need (on paper anyway)

Rowett has now seen them play, looked at areas to improve and identified this as an important position. He's given chance to current squad and knows they not up to the job.

Woods Ince, McClean, Choupo, Bojan, Verlinden are all not midfielders at all, they’re either winger or attackers. The rest are a shower of shit, don’t want to be here or haven’t had hands to either be fit or settle in yet. We desperately need someone like this lad, if we pull this off we’ll be 1 or 2 steps away from the finished squad.

Other than the Swans were after him I don't know much about him. How does he compare to Pearson?

Was at Shrewsbury not so long ago before signing for Brentford after being nominated League 2 player of the year.
Heard good things about this kid.
Get it done!
