The signing made perfect sense at the time and has probably proved to be a decent one when you actually think about what he's done. We needed a centre back because Sakho was coming back from injury and he's known to be prone to injury. Lovren was out injured, Skrtel was injured, and Toure is hardly Mr. Reliable (though, to be fair, he was very good when he was called upon). He was brought in as a just in case. Turns out we haven't had to use him, but an injury to either Sakho or Toure and things could've turned out very differently. If Sakho or Toure had gone down injured and we ended up playing Ilori or Enrique there would've been murder.
The signing made sense and he massively contributed to Allen's equaliser against Arsenal and the Lallana winner against Norwich. Not sure how anyone can complain especially when it's a loan signing.
