Gerrrrrriiiinnnnnn.
Really Really pleased with this.
Now, where is Borini ?

Should be a superb signing for you. He seemed to have had a raw deal at City, but regular games is what he needs, and that was never going to happen at City. sometimes it makes you wonder if the big money clubs buy players purely to stop other clubs getting them
So let me get this straight.
We've bought a proper real live and kicking left-back AND a proper live and kicking midfielder?
BLOODY HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its almost as if Gus knows what he's doing!!
And well done CongerMan. Great signing, now for the others!!
Rodwell is a perpetual sick note, who's never fulfilled his early potential.
When he first broke onto the scene at Goodison he looked to have tremendous promise, but a succession of niggles and seemingly chocolate hamstrings, restricted his appearances and meant he never cemented a starting berth in the side.
He was notably described as being more Kirkdale than Kirkby, which was a reflection on his grit (or lack of it) on the pitch. For me, he's a tremedous athlete, but lacks the football intelligence needed to be a genuine top notch CM player, as he gets caught out of position and doesn't read the game that well imo.
We were largely chuffed when City handed over big bucks for him, and not surprised in the least, that it's not worked out for him.
I hope this move sees him staying fit and genuiely progressing as a PL CM, but I won't be having any money on it and I think you've massively overpaid lads, sorry.
Wouldn't call 6m overpaid tho.
Heard it was £10M?
£6M is probably a fair price. If the lad can stay fit, you've got half a chance of seeing a good player develop under Poyet, it's just a big IF.

If the lad plays & does well then it will be 10m but at this moment in time it's 6m pal. good signing in Lukaku by the way.
6m rising to 10m ive heard
