We are for certain a fair way through the first part of the season and whereas Crew and others are already versed in how we play (whether you agree with how we play or not), Kouyate isn't and we have critical games coming up that ought not to be treated as training/acclimitisation sessions. Decisions made in a panic are rarely good ones.
Then we shouldn’t be signing anyone in January either with your reckoning.
How do you know Florists didn’t want him.
We have probably the youngest squad in the division and lack leaders/experience. As we see with Joseph, he might be familiar with how we play, is a great prospect but was never the quick answer to our frontline.

Btw: in case you forgot Liverpool signed Gary McAllister on a free at age 35….
