Mine didn't arrive so I'm fully expecting it has went to a random address they've plucked from their system at the other end of the country.

They must expect someone to match their valuation this window if that's the case. If we were paying 100% of his wages I can't see why they'd reject, it's not like they desperately need the money upfront.

With this current squad I reckon 15-16th. Striker and a keeper in and I think 12th-13th.

Sturridge scores, gets injured scoring it Edit - Bloody 54

:lol: Give their designers a raise.

It actually annoys me how little the local journo's know about our deals but pass off to their followers that they do.

what on earth?! :lol:

It seems like it's went too far now for it not to happen.

That nutmeg on Richardson at 2:44 is still my favourite nutmeg ever. He was about 5 yards away from him and still stuck it through his legs

I'd be surprised if there was a buyback clause in there because that's apparently why we stepped back from a permanent deal for Ojo with Liverpool wanting to stick one in the deal.

Same as Ryder, '10 things we have learned from Rafa's interview' article, followed by '10 things we have learnt from the 10 things we have learnt article'. Sounds like neither of you know who Craig Hope is, tbh. Rafa's quotes tonight pretty much prove he's been right every step of the way. You're right, I don't. But for some reason I'd probably believe the words coming from Rafa's mouth tonight about his current situation at NUFC rather than Hope's article from 2 days ago which suggested a completely different mood at the club.

What's Craig Hope going to write about now that Rafa has confirmed he's happy and 100% committed?!

I reckon it'll be Bailly and Lindelof but Lindelof has apparently been dodgy in pre season so far. Might be worth seeing who they line up with over the next few pre season games.

German media announcing the deal is done.

Howay, just announce it NUFC.

Best deal of our summer so far.

I do, still feel like we need another CM personally. Despite knowing f*** all I imagine Samaris, Hayden, Shelvey and Merino would be the strongest set of CMs we have had in a long time. Anything that pushes Colback further down the pecking order is fine by me too.

Hope we stuck a 50% sell on clause in there

Buzzing for the lad.

Looks like he's wearing tights.

Like the title

Marca are saying he's chosen over Bilbao mind. if true.

Definitely read this morning that he was close to sealing a move to Bilbao. Not going to get my hopes up about this one

Marcos Llorente was for Alaves last season whenever I seen him. Surprised RM haven't offered him a new deal yet.
