Credit to westerman to , knows the risk of playing poorly and not having a sl club next season, would of been easier for him to sign longer contract elsewhere. Good sign

not a good sign that Toronto walked away from £140K, time will tell.

Well its all down to him now. He knows if he doesn't perform he'll be looking for another club. I'll bow to Radders knowledge on this although I'm not 100% enamoured with the signing.

On the fence about it. Always thought that Westerman was a bit "princessy" tbh and preferred him running a bit wider than through the middle. But on a short term deal, fine. Abdull's not been commanding a place in the squad in the way that Fash, Lane and Matongo have. They can't all make it I guess.

Happy with it, we need an experienced forward and I'd doubt any better will become available at this time. We know how good he can be and hopefully he will show the form that got him into the England team. Good that he has signed until the end of the year, it's a chance to prove himself although I'd expect there is an option for next season already in place.
Seems to be coming with the right attitude as he could have got a better deal or sat in the championship on big money. Get him fit and we have a good player for the next 4/5 years.

Hasn't been overly impressive in the games I've watched him play. Looked unfit so will have to get his poop together as he's no doubt about to get flogged.
