Sam Greenwood

I agree with you he's nice, but I'd have said a nice tidy young player with no great experience or goal threat who can play across the three we're pretty covered for?

Everyone seemed to be in agreement we need some experience, power/strength, tenacity, mental toughness, leaders etc. Not another small, lightweight technically nice kid with no experience or scoring/assisting record.

Smacks of a last few days desperation, who the ƒuck who might come type of signing? If we wanted him why not two months ago?
As mentioned above, we need a squad. At present we have zero competition for Rogers at number 10, nor an alternate CF (I believe Greenwood can play in both of these positions).

Re power/strength etc - I'm not so sure that is what we need (and I would certainly doubt whether Carrick thinks so). This is not an old fashioned second tier squad we're assembling. It's a progressive, possession based side full of technically gifted footballers. If we get that right (and I'm not suggesting it's a "one window job") we will be fine.
 
Maybe Leeds and him don't want that?
Well if we do loan him you can guarantee that one of them, us or him didn't want it to be permanent. Saying that, I don't thin us or Akpom wanted to sell him, but it happened. Personally I think they are a bit of a mess right now, and if I was a young player I'd want out of that circus show.
