Oh and btw, SSN reporting Sahin deal is confirmed... can we say it's finally done now?
 
Seems a pretty realistic version of events too. But I wonder why we got so anti about paying 14 million if we want to keep him? Surely that'd be a good deal?

It's a brilliant deal. If he can recapture his Dortmund form he's easily worth over double that. We should sign him now the last thing we want is him being brilliant and Real deiding to keep him.

But that's the point I'm making. Surely if Real Madrid were so keen for us having to pay £14 million at the end of the season for him we'd be biting their hand off? So I'm guessing this means we must be getting him even cheaper or no buy out clause :p.
