So while I am generally against signing 34 year olds, it does seem that Jerome would have been an astute signing to provide cover and rest-bite for Moore.
We all see the shift Moore puts in and if we had Jerome I think we could take Moore off earlier without losing our shape and jeopardising results.
Shame it didn't come off.
