Conor Grant from Everton signs loan to January 10th. Sounds like a good signing to me. Probably go straight into 1st team. Will not be surprised if there is some unhappy supporters who will feel he could hold back some of our own.

But for me based upon our recent displays we badly needed improvement in our midfield. We also desperattely need Brad Walker in the centre of the park, not in the heart of our defence. Afraid that most of our own young midfielders are currently not ready for our 1st team. Not strong enough, not ready, and not competitive to the level required. The one exception at this given moment would of course be George Cooper.
