    Just been on the OS.

    How nice to see a young man turn up in a shirt and tie for his signing.

    Look smart. Feel smart. Play smart.

    I'm pleased with the purchase too and regarding his fee, we can only judge this once he has been sold/ retired. Only then will we know if it was money well spent.

    We dont know whaty the deal was either. Could have been a lot lower than the £12m being banded about.

    He was announced as our second most expensive signing ever, so more than Ramirez and Wanyama's 12m, and less than Osvaldo's 15m. Makes 12.5m seem probably pretty accurate.

    Oh I missed that. Was that the official announcement. The one I saw said undisclosed.

    It's in a bunch of articles about it, but then all three of those were officially undisclosed too. Undisclosed fees are always just poorly kept secrets, it's almost definitely an ultimate value of 12.5m, we just don't know how that's made up in terms of bonuses and so on.

    Yeah, FLT, I was also surprised to see him turn up in a tie! We've never had that before have we?

    Somehow, I wasn't expecting a positive comment when I saw your username.

    I think I read this post wrong - brings a whole new meaning to the word "orbiting". We need to be very careful with thsi surname!

    I think we should let him play at least 10 minutes of football before we get on his back and demand he's dropped.

    I think he will prove an inspired addition to our squad. he's a down to earth lad, used to the premiership, with a superb work ethic. No more prima donnas here!

    This is a duplicate account from one of our board members (not saying who) and has been banned as it's against the forum rules. The original account remains because I pleaded for leniency.

    Really though, I think I'd like to know who the dullard is on here who creates alt accounts to troll other fans of his team and slag off his own players. What an eejit.
