Could really use an in form Jozy at the cup in a year.

I almost wish we'd now turn attention to a #10 / more attacking CM now. Ie someone like Wijnaldum who could play centrally and also contribute goals or create behind the main striker.

Good luck to him.

Do people still want to sign him?

post was made by someone named "roids"

I'd imagine insert Murphy over Atsu and that's probably our current best 11 give or take. Is Merino > Hayden?

I think doing this deal now and being creative about the transfer for next summer is perfectly good if that means we're able to add MORE this way now and better quality.

we need a GK and ST before we need a LB, imo.

His DM/Box to Box qualities I see him directly competing with Hayden. It's been said by the experts who know him on twitter that he's not the type to have rangy passing and creativity. Strong tackler, breaks up play, technically gifted, good passing - keeps play moving etc. All qualities I'd say make him ideal to partner next to Shelvey.

This deal gives me hope that all the names we keep hearing about (that we hate) won't sign for us

Himself, Hayden with Shelvey as 10 because we can't buy anyone. Heard it hear last. Oddly enough, I'd prefer that over Diame, probably more than De Jong and about even on with Perez

maybe the 7m is actually the permanent fee for him? assume with series of add-ons.

I'm sitting here hoping to celebrate a loan ffs its really come to this

Please happen

Elliot has actually grown on me recently, he was a welcoming and calming head end of last season when Darlow was making mistakes all over. Think Rich's 11 is pretty much spot on at this point as our current best 11. I imagine a toss up in the #10 as to Perez, Diame and De Jong. I'm much happier seeing Hayden play next to Shelvey and believe Isaac can develop into a real top player under Rafa.

Love Sturridge man. When on form that season they nearly won the title he and Suarez were beasts.

just sign michy

SIGN MICHY

every time i see these type of fees (even Everton's dealings this summer) its further affirmation that we're only going to be a force in football when Mike Ashley sells us and we have an owner who wants to achieve the very highest and will commit his own money to doing so.

Meanwhile Man City are spending a boat load on 4 full backs

One year or two years on loan and back as our number 1 and England's true keeper of the future.

Local journalists tweeted or mentioned in article

I'd prob have a heart attack if we splashed rest of the funds on Billy Carvalho and Michy

The guy was drunk but remembers all this

Christian Eriksen is easily one of my favorite players in the PL. always enjoy watching him play his role. God wish we signed him.
