Anderson is fourth choice with us for a reason. If he feels like he wants to be playing regularly for the final year or two of his career then he deserves the chance to get it, but he's clearly not getting it here this season.
I'd rather take a punt on Keown, who's shown he can play at a high level in this division before, than some absolute random like Krachunov/Jahic, which I assume was the plan with that Zouma character last week, if this deal fell through. I'm loathe to believe fans of other clubs about players "attitude" aswell, Thistle fans literally lashed out at every player in their squad last season.
Its not a great deal, but I'm not as worried about it as I would've been six months ago.
