Look at the bench we had tonight. There's no guarantee that Gana or Ndiaye comes back fit. There's no guarantee that we won't get more injuries.
He's had a great half a season at Derby, hes had a great half a season at Preston. We're short in a number of areas and this bulks up our squad. He's ready for Everton now, even if people think he'll only get 10 minutes here and there, I swear there'll be games he's needed for longer. If we are 2 up against a side, wouldn't it be great to rest Garner, Gana or Tim or Rohl and he comes on for 15 minutes.
