Lettuce be patient with the new boy. I think we've unearthed a little gem. Elton John hates lettuce jokes, he's more of a rocket man.

Class signing this, completely risk free on loan. Just another RB, DM and a loan striker and we’ll be an absolute problem this season. There'll be no DM signing whilst Joe Allen (our captain) is here. We need one though, even if it's just back up for Allen, although I'm not sure how good it would be for the dressing room, having someone see how poor he is and still knowing he still wouldn't have a chance of playing.

Almost no chance of any more midfielders arriving now, you'd think? Unless we see a departure 8 mins 30 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p09qr709"Within our midfield, we've got players with different attributes, strengths and weaknesses. We probably felt we needed another player to build the game" "We've obviously been playing with Joe as the deeper one. Sometimes you need 2 holding midfield players in different games" "This gives us the flexibility to play with a 6 and two 8s - and also the flexibility to play with 2 holders and a 10. "When we looked at all the options we had, Romaine was certainly at the top of the list. When the opportunity came, we couldn't turn it down"

We've now got 6 first team midfielders (one who is the captain) competing for 3 places , there's not a cat in hells chance we'll sign another.DM : Allen / Thompson Central Mid : Sawyers / Clucas Attacking Mid : Powell / Vrancic Unless, of course, we sell one of them? We missed the boat on flogging SC (rightly or wrongly) but if it freed up a wage towards a decent CDM, I'd sell Thompson in a heartbeat. Just can't see him pushing through anytime soon.

Presumably he think it'll be Sawyers alongside Allen in some games - with Powell or Vrancic in advance of them? But hopefully he'll mainly be one of the players either side of the deeper Allen (or Thompson) in most games?

I said it would take MON a few windows to start sorting things To be fair mate, that was pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain.

I can’t see O’Neill changing shape from a good side just to accommodate sawyers. Hope he gets to mix it further up maybe replacing Powell or vrancic if they are rested/injured, not that I want either droppung There isn't really a great deal of difference between 352 and 3412 all it does is place one of the midfielders (Powell/Vrancic)clearly more advanced than the other 2 (Allen and Sawyers) And there is no reason why Sawyers can't be the more creative of the two. I suspect that if you set up in a 352, it will morph into 3412 when you are attacking. True true, I’m chuffed he’s signed and I hope he can push us on especially getting the ball into feet for Surridge

Yea I guess he can provide another excellent option for their sadly inevitable injuries

he looks a bit over weight thought that also, but maybe it’s the way he’s built? He’s not quite Man United Lukaku size

A spherectomy would cause problems with brain networks making the transfer window a difficult concept to grasp. you could function fairly normally in parts but missing 50% of the cerebellum might result in MON's dealings in the market seem not as easy to understand.

Solid cameo there. Creates space for himself, looks up before the ball arrives.

He was class and improved our midfield immediatiely. Was always looking for space and progressing the ball forwards. Think he's gonna be a next-level player for us.

Doesn't seem to be cup tied for the Donnies game. Full debut then?
