It’s smart business
The kind we don’t always do
Im not a huge fan but I’ll back him to the hilt whilst he is here
He will do some damage on the opposition and that may be very useful

Can't really go wrong, getting a formally £40-50m player for no transfer fee, just wages. He's not necessarily ideal for us on first sight, with Frank liking a double pivot. But you don't turn your nose up at such a good player for free! No capital outlay seemingly.

His short-passing is actually really good (high percentage of accomplishment) and I think he will allow the likes of Bergy to develop into deep lying carries/playmakers. The insurance of a player like Palhinha will help us across the board, especially if we do something stupid again in this window and decide not to addressn the left-side of defence and end up using 'utility players'...but I think his role will be catalytic for our younger creative talent.

Another big piece with this (probable) signing is having a leader in the side could be crucial. Our most senior 'leaders' are not actual leadership material. Palhinha looks to dominate his midfield. He leads from the middle!
I'd imagine he's also a good guy to have around the dressing room too.

He is experienced
And he knows the league
And it’s a loan
Not really anything there that anyone can complain about

Timo Werner was likely on a similar wage

So many games last season we looked naive. Quite a young side. And we never saw Son or Romero step in and play that role of leader, really. We were prone to be hustled. We looked totally different in the game today, far more combative and primed. But it was just a friendly. Frank will prepare the side to be more savvy on the pitch, but there are times you want a player who can read the momentum in a game. Make a tatical foul. Help the team reset. We really miss having a couple of smart older players like that. Hopefully Palhinha brings that.
Bissouma lacks awareness - of what is around him on the pitch - and of how to game things or get wins over the line. Palhinha I hope is more savvy.

Time of possession means nothing in todays game.
The game now in not about how, but how many.
