I'm guessing our approach is to accommodate our current circumstances and requirements more than anything. I don't think any of these guys are long term targets, hence our reluctance to have any sort of compulsory purchase clause inserted. You don't really scout short term loan signings so it makes more sense to go for out of favour ex players who you think can help.
That being said I've not seen anything of this guy but going by whoscored he looks like an AMN type given that he's played in around 7 different positions. Sounds like he want's to be a centre mid. Doesn't seem like someone who'd be of much value either in the short term given his lack of experience.
