We shouldn't rush into a permanent deal that doesn't actually solve the issues in our squad. From where I'm sitting, this player's profile looks too similar to what we've already got, and spending big on another stop-gap would be a mistake.
Why I'm worried
The concern is simple and it's the one other fans have pointed out: his heat map this season shows him hugging the touchline a lot. Watching him, he often looks hesitant to take risks. That matters, because either he's an out-and-out winger who stays wide or he's meant to cut inside and create centrally. If he does the first, he's not the dynamic impact signing we'd want. If he does the second but lacks the drive to break lines, then he's still not giving us anything different.
Moore deserves a shout
Put the money into the kid, or at least give Moore a real run. He's only 18, but he shows initiative and a willingness to try things that some of the more established options haven't displayed regularly. Youth isn't a bad thing when the player brings intent and bravery. We should back the academy talent who looks like he can develop into the kind of No.10 or attacking presence that actually changes games.
Don't replicate the same problem
Look at the squad in the way it actually functions: Antman, Aasgaard, Olsen and others can occupy those creative channels. Adding another player who either hugs the line or tiptoes into the middle doesn't broaden our options. It just buys us another similar-looking problem. If we're going to spend, it needs to be on someone who clearly complements what we already have, not someone who repeats it.
Truth is, patience pays. I want us to be bold in the transfer market, but bold with sense. Right now, splashing cash on this particular profile feels like a waste.
