I think he will have had to do a hell of a lot of belly crawling to get us to take him on loan even. If it works out I am pretty sure we will have agreed to pay United a lower fee in January so they are not messed about too much to make it longer term.
We need the body, and I still think he will do well in our side, but he has much work to do to make me think that he is anything but a slimy little toad.
