It's a safety signing, which is fine.  I don't expect it'll make any difference as to whether we'll stay up.

It makes a difference in that we can't loan anyone else. I expected us to sign a forward and loan one. Now I think we will just sign one and gamble on him being great and not getting injured. We've already seen what a foolish assumption that is.

It's not clear if overseas loans are different to PL loans, most of the loan rules state PL club to PL club which is the 2 loan limit.

Seems clear to me. No more than two loans.

And yet the first part is what confuses it.

"Find out how Premier League clubs are limited in the number of players they can bring in on loan from English clubs"

"Loans between Premier League clubs and other English counterparts are officially called temporary transfers."

I found this quote from Warnock when the new rules were bought in.  Seems to indicate overseas players aren’t affected.

It's scandalous, really. You can bring 10 from abroad, so who are we trying to help?

"Who has invented these rules? It's a disgrace, really, when I could be giving another good young English lad an opportunity of playing in the Premier League."

in Jan 2018 Newcastle loaned in Kenedy, Slimani and Dubravka. That's 2 from English clubs and 1 from abroad. Nothing has changed in the rules since so the 2 seems pretty clearly to only apply to loans within England.

He's right, to be fair. A rule that actively encourages you to get foreign players in rather than home grown ones. I can't see the logic in it, but if we can get a loan forward in and he scores a dozen goals, I won't complain.

Norwich kicked off this season with 3.

Why is everyone automatically jumping to the conclusion that he’s being bought to replace Nyland? In my view he’s been bought as an experienced back up to Nyland and Steer and nothing more. People really are adding 2 and 2 together and getting 5.

We ll see who really knows summation come Brighton next week.
I'm prepared to hold hands up but Reina is number 1 as he wouldn't move otherwise .
As well as the obvious that he's in a different league to what we have.
But you keep counting will see in a week.

Arrant nonsense mate. He’s not number 1 at his current club and he certainly isn’t in a different league to either Nyland or Steer. He was a bloody good keeper back in the day, he’s coming to the end of his career and I think will be a happy back up to the others whilst offering some decent experience.

I have never been his biggest fan but he has done well in the last few games.

Aston Villa's new signing Pepe Reina is watching on in the stands in a flat cap.

It has taken him 24 hours to go full Tommy Shelby

He'll be back on a plane to Milan after the game by the look on his the face of his missus.
