So that gives us Bauer, Sarr, Lennon, Johnson, Williams, Diarra and Teixera.
Shows the insanity of chucking a long contract at Johnson. Assume Williams won't be renewed after the month (I'd send him back now).
well Bauer is out a few more weeks at least, Diarra out a while. Send Williams back. Leaves Textiera, Lennon, Saar and Johnson fit at the moment. Once the first two are back we can loan out a couple, if anyone will take Johnson that is. What an incredibly daft deal that was/is.
Apparently we've beaten New York City and Flamengo (Brazil) to his signature... Will be a 3.5 year Contract, they dont seem to learn with Contract lengths especially as he'll be around 33 when that ends
Probably the only way we could get him to sign on the dotted line though unfortunately.
Agents aren't thick. They'll have heard from contacts that Johnson got 18 months, Sarr got 18 years, and Meire is easy pickings. In this case the player gets additional long-term security and the agent a nice bonus. We're a joke.

Has only missed four matches for Standard Liege this season as well
If he is fit and ready to go, unlike many of our new signings, that means he will get injured soon after he joins, at least that is how it seems this season. I would say three of our best signings Bauer, Kashi and Diarra all long time injuries

They've just finished their mid-season break I think so he should be full of beans and ready to jump straight in.
Jury's out for me, but welcome Jorge I hope you are the player to shore up our leaky defence
Indeed. Best to reserve judgement until we've seen him. It's encouraging that the fans at his former club rate him. It's unusual for us to get a player that has been a first team regular at a club, they are usually out of contract or out of favour.

Does bringing in this geezer mean that we have to get rid of Watt or Lookman?
Bloody joke.

But is he really the best out there for a Championship centre half? I highly doubt it.
We can't afford the best out there (and whoever it is wouldn't want to sign for us anyway!)
Who knows, but he is what we've got. Better cross our fingers he is a step up. Surely he can't be any worse?
I just hope this is squad building and we are not shoving Watt, Lookman or anyone else important out the door to fund it.
