    That's enough, lads . . . . it's pathetic, and resorting to personal abuse is making it worse.

    A few of us might need a breather unless we all calm down together :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Very excited by this signing and very excited to see how the rest of the window plays out. Would love another statement signing at centre half to follow this one.

    Anyway, i'm buzzing we've managed to get it done, £18.3m package is a great deal for someone of his calibre

    do we think Xhaka will be at Hull?

    Anyway, to prove how good this lad must be even on the Mag board they are saying he’s a great signing and wish their buying team were as good.

    What originally kicked this off was me saying I was sceptical of malaga's story due to the timing of him returning from brazil, and training with leverkusen. I wasn't calling the bloke a liar or 'questioning his integrity' I then had people jump on me and start taking digs at how i'm obsessed with transfers and want to be the centre of attention, not sure any of it was warranted

    CB and GK would be my priority now. Wouldn't be surprised if they happened quickly.

    Think then we'll use the loan market to add to the forwards and that'll happen towards the end of August when squads are more finalised.

    Riznyk/Ortega and Lucumi would make me very happy before West Ham

    What's even better is that Xhaka should get a couple of friendlies with the team before West Ham. Plenty of time to gel.

    I think the suggestion might be that,in the event of a 4-2-3-1, it'll be Diarra sat in the 2. ELF will play a bit further up I would think.

    .I still think Neil will stay mind.

    There is quite a bit to stay for and unless he wants to run his contract down, (an awful roll of the dice for a player in his position), we might not just be the best place for him even if he isn't starting every game, we might be his best offer.

    It is worth guessing that any club offering more might not offer regular starts either.

    But it's up to Dan. He has to want to stay, just like any prospective signings has to want to come
