Signed apparently

Really starting to feel excited about what the recruitment bods appear to be trying to do this January. This looks like a really interesting and exciting signing. Great stuff! 🤞
Better late than never. What’s a few years between loons?
Alive. Early starter. Enricher of lives

I know nothing about this guy but I look forward to learning about him and if he's signed I wish him well. Wonder if we'll get confirmation on a permanent for Roberts this week also.

Based purely on transfermarket, manneh prefers the left. Feel like we're a bit heavy on that side (dimi, koumas, keshi) , would like somebody who prefers the right to compete with Roberts. Maybe we're moving on one or two from the left side.

One would think that if Manneh is coming in Koumas is going back

Moxley previously included Keshi in his available for transfer list as well.

So could be looking at Manbeh and Gray on the left, Wright and Roberts on the right at the end of Jan.

60 minutes of Gray followed by 30 minutes of Manneh seems as though it would be a less than fun afternoon for most right backs.

After doing some reading he has apparently been playing as a 10 all season (and used to be a striker). Wonder if he has been signed to play there or as a winger who steps in side with Wagner overlapping (like laird and Dowell last year)?

Transfer market have him mostly on the wing. -

But if he starts well perhaps we'll see a rejig to fit him and Gray in.

All about options

Exactly. The additions of Wagner and (potentially) Manneh allow us a number of different looks down that left flank.
Replying to Snoop   23:04, Sun 11 Jan
The left or central ten Manneh deserves special mention, as he brings exceptional qualities. He is explosive, very fast and excellent when driving forward on the dribble. Alongside wing back Johansson, Manneh regularly provides depth or beats opponents to create superiority. He is already being linked with clubs from the top two divisions in England. His output is all the more remarkable considering that Mjällby as a team rank lowest in the league for dribbles. Dribbling simply is not a frequently used attacking tool for them, yet Manneh consistently stands out.

Dig it.
