Snowflake Royal Readers will remember I'm a big fan of Rino. But I don't see the point in his signing.
Sure, he's more defensively solid as DM than Savage or Wing... but Fraser is also in that area. He's not at all threatening going forward.
And he spent the last couple of seasons playing RB at Cardiff, didn’t he? We don’t need him at RB with Yids, Abrefa and Ahmed.
Williams, again don't really see the point. We have four players who can play LB already. He'd need to be a substantial step up on Jacob/Ryan/Dorsett/Garcia to be worth signing, even if we send Jacob back.

As you know I’m not delighted by more players coming in, but suggests that it’s prob injury cover initially - semi reliable Brogue says Jacob injured. No sign of Fraser atm. So I think these 2 are to cover there
I think with are ridiculous injury list generally it’s reasonable to sign them short term. Doyle and Elliott also likely out, Elliott for a while.
If they do well then it could mean loans going back in Jan

Brogue also says Fraser was never injured.
Jacob out still leaves Dorsett (maybe having to play CB), Ryan and the newly fit Garcia (maybe he’ll be playing wing)
And at RB all three seem fit. Whilst Rino is categorically not the player you bring in for Elliott and Doyle. Maybe if Fraser and Wing are out.
So it still makes little sense to me. I know maybe there's simply no AMs or strikers, keepers or wingers free... but those would all make more sense as positions to bring support in.
If we switch to 3 CBs and wing backs, maybe.
But we could still field this even with an insane injury list, without them.
.......................Stevens (yuck)
........Yiadom, Stickland, Dorsett
Abrefa......Spencer..Savage....Garcia
....Kyerewaa......................Lane
..................Ehibhatiomhan
Subs: Norcott, Ahmed, Borgnis, Sackey, Camara, O'Mahoney, Ryan
Don’t get me wrong, I'd be very happy seeing Rino reviving his career with us... just doesn't mke sense to me.
