His versatility seems a big plus. From the incredibly limited information and viewings, he does seem to have a good turn of pace, touch and is a box to box type. Gives us a good option to have, especially with so many games in short order coming up.
Hopefully McGinn and Dougie take it as a good kick to the rear and if worse comes to worse in the summer, as stated, at least Dougie's replacement is already here.
