It would stop him scoring against us if we did sign him.
He might be a bit too old for us though, although if he's available at a cheap price then we should bid.
10th place is hardly rubbish.
Swansea, Sunderland, Hull, that's the definition of rubbish.
Your final point I completely agree with. Hopefully, with a couple of decent additions this month, we will go on a good run and end the season on a high.
The players do major and extensive physical tests in pre-season, and we have an excellent sports science team who know more about the player's fitness levels than probably the players do themselves.
Puel clearly has more information available to him than we do and so if he says that Romeu and VVD can play more games, then they are obviously fitter than the rest of the squad.
There are many criticisms to be had of Redmond but his work rate is incredibly high and he never gives up on the field.
If he works that hard on the training ground on improving his ability then he'll be a top player for us.
There's a big difference when none of the other teams have to rotate too...
Eddie Howe openly admitted that a big factor in us beating them was that our team was fresher and theirs was tired. Both had played in midweek, we rotated the team, they did not.
Who says he will go in January?
The news has only come out because Les wants to drum up some interest. Hardly surprising considering he hasn't exactly set the world on fire this season...
