Anderson

If they're happy to let him go, he'll end up here. Agree something like £8m if we stay up, including initial fee, and get it sorted.

Can't see their board sanctioning a move to them considering they're direct rivals in league this season. We're the only show in town if he's allowed to leave, imo.

Was always confident this would come off today, but them allowing VdB & Martial to leave already & yesterday's news makes it a complete non-starter now I'd imagine.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60190646 "If anyone here is afraid to play, pass the ball to me because I want to play and win this trophy." Not seen this kid play outside a YT comp and already think I'm in love.

Based on absolutely nothing, wanted us to sign this lad since the first rumours. Personally think he compliments the Wood signing really well too - an uninspiring, but known quantity and a young kid with bags of potential.

Arsenal in the mud.

Would much rather go for the French kid than Nketiah. Arsenal aren't exactly blessed with CFs with Auba leaving, so they can't rate him too highly.

€42m, +€8m add-ons/bonuses & 20% sell on fee.

€50m?! 'Kin 'ell.

Remember the talk of this lot wanting to do things slowly, £50m a year budget? Fuckers went out and spent £25m on Chris Wood as a short term fix for a couple month without batting an eye and are now splashing the cash on an elite level CM in the first window while we're 18th!

30ish hours to go mental now, everyone start sending Haaland pictures of bridges and that YouTube comp of Bruno.

The yellow ticker!

What a day, Mags signing an elite level CM, mackems shipping 6 in division 3.

Still not sure how we’ve pulled this off. The type of signing I’d assume we’d have had no hope of securing in Jan. Should be the type of player who’ll grow with the club too. Considering the amount of other clubs in the market for a CM too, a proper coup.

Better not be Monday, later we get into the window the more stressed I get someone’s going to come steal him. Arsenal, Man U, Spurs all seemingly in the market for a CM, but none of them looking at him? What’s the catch?!

With Martial gone & Van de Beek on his way, and them seemingly not bringing anyone in, beginning to think this might actually be completely dead.

What’s the sentence for ABH over there? One way to get him off the books.

Hope we can get this announced today, feel like we need a signing like this to kick start the remaining few days of window.

Is this LB from Leverkusen we're targeting more of a WB? If he was to play in a 3, imagine he'd be more suited to a 3-4-3
