So would there be any chance of this being made permanent?
Saw a tweet a few pages earlier saying his contract would be extended first - would this be because they want to keep him, or because they want a higher fee if he does go?
If there's no chance of it being made permanent, I just don't see the point.
And if we do do this, where does that leave Tosin?
And does it mean Kolarov is going to revert to LB, especially now Angelino isn't here? If Kolarov is still going to be used as a CB, then I think him, Stones, Ota, an occasionally fit Kompany and Tosin is well enough, at least until the end of the season.
I'd rather we brought in an LB, whether it be a younger player who can use the next 5 months to bed in before next season, or, an experienced player who can provide cover until a longer term signing is made.
