Even if he were simply an additional body, that would be useful in itself.
Fully fit though, he’s more than that - he has attributes that almost all of our current midfield options lack - hes quick, mobile, powerful, decent in the air. Things we massively lacked on Saturday, for example.
Do we take the fact that the club have included him in the 20-man PL squad list (A), as an indication that he might just feature this side of January?
Or is that list literally just every single player over 21 on a pro deal at the club?
When the exhausted Ale Mac had to come off on Wednesday night, and Caicedo was walking a second-yellow tightrope, my lad did mention how much you'd love to have someone solid like Moder on the bench, rather than the school trip we had sat on there!
