If I was to guess, he’ll be a replacement for Hamilton. If Tidser is hell bent on playing his way, Hamilton will unfortunately have to make way as he’s not suited for that style of football.
Imagine he’ll be a level above the championship if he’s featured in a few games in the Portuguese top league. Fingers crossed he can improve.
I really hope we can bring a full back in next! Surely that’s a must!

25 years old with a decent level of experience. Ball carrying creative midfielder which is something we definitely don’t have and might mean we can play a 442.
Will be keen to make an impact to secure a deal for next season, even if not with us. Not sure how match fit he will be tho but hopefully not far away.
Left winger and left back next and it’s starting to feel like we’ve had a go at addressing the problem areas.

Tbh, the questions posed were pretty poor, some of them weren’t even questions.
The World Cup being a particular highlight, ofcourse it was, whether he thinks his way of playing suits the club style, pretty sure he wouldn’t sign if it didn’t suit him. Double checking his position.
See it in a good few of our interviews, you’ll find a lot of the answers start with 100% as well because it’s as if the question is posed as an answer.
Anyway, hope he does well, a lot of experience playing in numerous leagues and with some talented players so here’s hoping he gets us up and running.

Keeping an experienced person in Defence/Midfield/Attack to guide the young ones.
Im not saying it will be 442 yet that will be the personnel making the team

Bring him on as a sub when we`re 3 up with half an hour to go.
The point about these double barrelled names is that they used to be reserved for posh aristocratic types like Charles Ponsonby-Smythe or the like. Now they`re as common as muck. I don`t know why commentators in England don`t have a union meeting and get a general agreement just to refer to the initials, like AA for Alexander-Arnold. To reel off the full 6 syllables becomes tedious.

Yeah, let`s totally disrespect someone because you can`t be bothered to learn or say their name instead...
Interesting that he is another in the dynamic box-to-box creative mould, where I thought Hampson was going to be that player. A shame he`s bot featured as I was really looking forward to seeing what he could offer. Still time I guess but the fact he`s not came on and now we have another option doesn`t look good for the Welshman.
I wonder if the plan is to get Taylor-Clarke in as the single pivot in the 4-3-3 we`ve nominally been playing under Tidser with Oakley-Booth and Otoo further ahead offering a bit of power in the engine room. I wouldn`t necessarily be against that. Or we could use Taylor-Clarke and one of Otoo or Hamilton as double pivots in a 4-2-3-1 if we decide to go more narrow again and get the full backs more involved in a traditional up and down way. The way Ngwenya has been used, as well as using Comrie in a more inverted ways worries me as I think we lose a lot when we don`t get the full backs up and down to support the attack. I`m actually not sure that either of these systems particularly suit the squad we have to be honest but we are where we are.

I suspect we’ll see Tidser look to set up roughly the same way he did at Kelty. Seems pretty clear that it’s not Tidser signing all these players, I just hope he’s having some input into what he needs.
We’ve certainly gone for quantity this window and so far mullan looks like the quality we were hoping for and possibly Stevens. The rest haven’t had much chance yet. At 25 this guy should have more about him than the younger ones who are making a big step to first team with us.

Looks like Tidser is getting fed a conveyor belt of young talent from the owners and being tasked with moulding them into a team. Let`s hope it works as games are starting to run out. I think we`d all settle for 8th position and look to rebuild for next season. I`d far rather this than persevering with players who have demonstrated that they are not good enough and living in hope that they are suddenly going to find form.

I`m wondering if the same can be true of JCM who has also signed until the end of the season. Are these guys just putting themselves in the shop window in the hope that they`ll attract some interest from bigger clubs at the end of the season? I`m not complaining if they can help get us out of trouble.
ETA - Of course, in JCM`s case we have an option to extend his contract but is he obliged to accept it? Does the existence of the option mean that, if he does move on, we`ll be entitled to a fee?

Well, well Keltypar, you`re biased because you`ve got a son with a double barrelled name and I`m biased because I`ve got a son with only 4 letters in his surname. I would have to confess to being slightly flippant and not over serious in my comment but many players with really long names do make some concession to abbreviation in such circumstances. I`m sure in the case of Alexander Arnold, that he gets less mentions when he gets on the ball, than players with less syllables. But nothing to get steamed up about.
