    Concerning that he didn't play at all last season, in terms of bargaining power with clubs, he would be in a much worse place than Berry who played and scored in the PL.
    On the brightside... He's well rested

    Happy with this but out of curiosity, I wonder why this took so long?

    Why hasn't he played in a year? Understand why it's only a short term contract

    Until Jan because we're not sure or he's not sure?
    I think the club and player have been quite a long way apart on wages. Perhaps this is a solution where the clubs gives him an opportunity to ensure he stays fit and perhaps gets the chance to do better than us come January and in return the player takes wages that we can agree to.
    We were some way apart on wages I reckon we are paying five figure sum for him

    Just read that he was diagnosed with leukemia at 12 years of age, and given the all clear at 16. Fair play to him for the career he's had.

    I’d be astonished if we are. Half would be a lot for a player out of contract and with no last seasons games.

    Thankfully a massive upgrade on signings though.

    Good squad depth with the quality to be first choice. Just a question of where he is sharpness wise. With Kanu and Anderson away tomorrow, it'll be interesting to see if there's a place for Potts on the bench.

    I would not be surprised if we don't see him much. And I would not be surprised if he's first choice LCB by the end of the month. Don't really know what to expect, but we know there is quality there.

    But we paid him up/off (not sure if fully), so in reality his wages are in the book as opposed to off the book.

    I’d imagine we are paying him the full amount every week until he finds another club and then we’ll just be picking up the difference.

    other clubs will know this and lowball their offers knowing he’s not going to be out of pocket

    Yann was a similar situation and that's why he had the incentive to play long into his 30's after missing 4 years of his teenage career.

    The most important thing is, what's his squad number?

    15 according to the Sky Sports app. A reasonable choice for a CB.
