Apparently he's a free agent in the summer, so we'll be right at the front of the queue of clubs trying to sign him!

Ah, I hope he's brilliant for us. You never know. Best of luck to him and all that.

Cool. I liked The God Delusion.

I was going to say I would be more exited if we'd signed Richard Dawkins.

His contract is up this summer, so he will be free to sign if he is any good. Fingers crossed he is a good player.

We have no wingers of any use. Now we have width.

Is he a winger then? Wiki just says attacking midfielder.

How  utterly bizarre this signing is though.  On Sky they said it was to cover for Albrightons absence - how long has Albrighton been out for?!  Does this mean we are going to stick with 4-4-2 finally.

At least it seems he can score. Just imagine, a MF down VP that scores more than 1 goal every few months.

Wiki is right. he is a bit like Nzog, can play wide or center. Decent deadball.

I have sene him play live over here. He is a hard worker but imho a bit slow.. and thats in the MLS.

Looks like a signing for a championship bench to me. I think the club are just planning to lose one or two of our attacking mids next season in the championship and saw an opportunity here with a loan to buy.

If he had signed with a CB , I would be a lot happier. Its just the wrong position we need for me . Good luck to him anyway .

So this guy is potentially N'zogbia's replacement in the Championship next season, scary.

I remember watching lots of goals from Delph on You Tube before we bought him.
