I think its more GB keeping his squad options open.

Some Premier clubs maybe willing to loan out the odd player come towards the end of the window so maybe best to keep one or two squad places available rather than fill upto our full quota.

Also the two lads brought if they make the grade could maybe be worth more if we want/need to sell on in the future.
A good point, Howie. I hadn't thought of it.
GB has certainly added value to Gestede in that way, and he probably sees greater (financial and footballing?) potential in the French players than in those with experience in English football already.
