We need a couple of players who are able to take the ball on the half turn, and can pick a pass.
With Morrison leaving with Hoolahan, those were the only two 'playmakers' we had last year (not including Barnes/Phillips etc) we have brought in Filip and Sawyers would give us another option.
Again at the price being quoted its a bit of a low risk signing. He will already know the club aswell so you would hope that would reduce the 'settling in' time.
I would be happy with this signing, not only do we need to improve the 1st team, but we also need options from the bench and Romaine would cover both of those.
