The only signing I'm unhappy about so far is Colback. I'm more disappointed at the glee and gusto with which we sell our best players to the first interested party. It makes signing players completely irrelevant.
It's likely De Jong will be the only signing we make that resembles a striker so there is still room for Grenier from a footballing perspective but not from an Ashley tight cunt perspective.
Would seem like we've just taken the extra Debuchy money for this deal and and are now using the previous low ball amount for Debuchy's replacement now.
At 12m it should be interesting to see Pardew justify leaving him out of the team and making him train with the reserves for making Old Mike and Blobby feel untalented.
It's come from Italian journo Alfredo Pedulla. He reckons we've agreed a €9m deal and he'll sign after the World Cup. Though everyone else is linking Janmaat to Man U as well, so who knows.
