He's good to be fair Rob, just think three other positions are more of a priority
I would not disagree, but quality is always welcome. What we don't know is the other options - if any!
Yeah I'm not overly keen on us signing another defensive midfielder, despite being a former (shite) defensive midfielder and loving a good holding midfielder. We still have Diarra to come back at some point, and then Kashi probably turn of the year. When everyone is fit they and Lookman are by far are the most gifted players in the squad.
That said, I'm kind of at the point where beggars can't be choosers. We need numbers. Even Thompson, who is more box-to-box but doesn't seem a natural creator or goalscorer would be welcome. Same with Gobern, who at least has an eye for a pass, even if I'm not certain he's anywhere near fit.
Burnley must be gutted he didn't hang around at Charlton and they could have got him for a quarter of the price TJ will be somewhere in the world saying "I told you so " in reference to him holding out for £2m when Villa came knocking for Dale

Only problem with your opening paragraph is that the three mentioned players will not start 40 games between them this season.
Ok then - so surely surely a signing today. Or Russ will need to explain what happened to his 'two thirds down the line' and '48 hours'. The after game interview will be interesting (especially explaining our exit after having to field an u21 team).
Ludicrous amount for Stephens though what is the game becoming
I think if I was a Burnley fan, I'd be expecting relegation again this year. They've spent around £10.7 million on Stephens, Pope and Gudmunsson. Not Premiership quality IMHO.

Hope we've got a good sell on!

We're going to have words about this!
Another one that we've missed out on!
