He looked fine towards the end of last year and his been good this preseason. Whether it's one year or three it makes sense to get a solid RB in place now and look for the next big thing when that time comes.

You should plan ahead for when your important players are coming to the end. You get the next one in before the time comes, not when they fall apart for the final time.

We are, apparently, by signing a good RB with international experience for the World Champs who is nearly 4 years younger than our current guy at a time when Coleman still has something left.

So Coleman plays for another year, maybe 2, and then this RB is first choice but is at the point where we need to be looking for his replacement! 

What we should be doing is signing Coleman’s long term replacement now (around the age of 23).  Either to come straight in now and relegate Coleman to a bench player (like Digne did to Baines) or to come in and be the long term RB after a season of watching.

Unless Kenny is the long term replacement, and this guy is cover / competition for Coleman and then make a decision on Kenny after his season long loan.

Ignoring the age thing for a moment, I think the immediate financial considerations are getting lost here. We have spent a good bit already and have some players on the squad whose wages we may or may not be able to get off the books. Beyond that we've been attached to some large bids on wingers in this window and will want to bring in a CB most likely. I really doubt we'd have the ability to bring in a 23 year old RB who could come relegate a still very solid Coleman to the bench without spending a ton of money. Assuming that we can't just launch endless 40m bids on players, it makes a lot of sense to me to get a good RB for relatively cheap and address the future of the position in a couple of years when we will presumably have more available funds.

This could be a factor. A good, solid RB addresses our immediate concerns while still allowing for Kenny to develop or a big future signing. It seems very sensible to me.

Competition for Coleman.

We simply cannot full blown drop him for a new player, we owe that to him as a club and have to respect the influence and leadership he has on and off the pitch. 

He's an important player for us. 

In today’s world of sport, we don’t owe any player anything. They must win their position through ability and effort. The fact is that Coleman has blown hot and cold in the last 18 months. We need cover right now, and this would appear to be a good solution. For the long term, this position is Kenny’s for the taking.

My point was Coleman should be given the chance for this guy to knock him off his pedestal.

Good move by the club this. Planning ahead.

Bring this guy in on loan. See how Kenny gets on in Germany. If Kenny bosses it, we bring him back and send this man back. Keep Kenny. Also, if Coleman declines more, he steps back, bring Kenny back, snap up this guy too.

All angles covered. Know their Shit, don't they?!
