Not sure how involved he will be from the start though. It's probably more with the view of letting him settle in during the second half of the season and having him fully involved next season.

I actually think that's one of the advantages of getting someone in January as you can ease them in while they get used to things off the field and hopefully they can kick on from start of next season.

We have a very settled and pretty good central midfield so no pressure to start him right away unless we get loads of injuries in that area.

I also remember signing Young in January 2007 and he showed flashes but wasn't that amazing which got people nervous we'd overpaid at the time but he was right on it from start of the next season and quickly made the England squad.

As we have done with Conor it seems to make room for another signing we will need to let one out. For me Keinan has to go out on loan so we can get a decent forward in. Otherwise we are going to burn Ollie out.

It would be interesting to see to Bert could play up front. He has before apparently. Maybe something we could try in a game we are winning comfortably.

We already have a space in the 25 anyway as Kalinic has gone on loan. Unless we're saving it for Lansbury.

He doesn't look physically strong enough to play the Watkins role to me.

I'd be interested to know if our interest in Eloise is being pursued. Bringing him and Sanson in would obviate the need to spend big on Barkley.

How villa will set up with Sansom, a YouTube video by route one,  gives a great forecast for the future. Very exciting times ahead. Sorry I cannot add a link but check it out.

Could be very useful at Southampton to have McGinn and Sansom in midfield to combat the 4-2-2-2 they play. The high press would disrupt it.

Could be our nemesis.

So we think Barkley is for the chop? I thought he was more a McGinn/Luiz sort of player.
