    Sky Sports are also reporting that we've met his release clause. Seems like a good signing to me. Obviously Deportivo shipped in a few goals last season but he's always been highly rated and looked solid at the World Cup - presumably he's a 3rd/4th choice so as good cover as we can possible ask for really.

    Now for a striker, lb, rb, and midfield cover...

    Especially as Lejeune looks like he's picked up a knee injury from last night - be good to get Joe Bryan in at LB then concentrate on the striker situation

    Especially if the fee for Bryan is only going to be around £6million as suggested. Last year of his contract so it's feasible. That would be the defence sorted for me (two good players for under £10million - would be very good business). A new RB would be nice, but I agree - strikers and a number 10 are far more important.

    Schar I'd take. Not a worldy but cover so won't complain

    Bryan I'd be pleased with don't think he's as good as Dummett from what I've seen though so again probably backup

    Muto I didn't really like the look of him at the World Cup and having looked, another player who struggles to score goals (8, 5 and 7 respectively) in his 3 years in Germany and hasn't scored in 3 years for Japan...

    Hopefully just replacement for Mbemba, potentially Clarke as well?

    I'm half expecting him to be sold in the last days of the transfer window.

    Replacement for Mbemba and I guess cover for Lejeune now that he's injured his knee

    These are Championship transfers at best. Bargain bin bullshit.

    Even clubs in the Championship are showing more ambition.

    Muto's goalscoring record isn't that bad. Consistently averaging just over 200 mins per goal in the Bundesliga for the last 3 seasons with a reasonable amount of assists too. A better option than Joselu for sure. If he were to sign for us I would wager that he's not going to be the next great NUFC number 9 though.

    Doesn’t Mitrovic have a decent/better record on paper?

    Thought muto has scored about 15 in three years? If he’s not even playing that’s not a good sign...

    He's a decent player with pace to burn. If you factor in his assists, he’s contributing either a goal or an assist every other game in the Bundesliga. Far better than Joselu and Gayle, for the little that is worth. Agree though - I wouldn't be thrilled if he was our only striker addition.

    I remember a deluge of Stoke fans bemoaning the loss of their "best finisher", Jose Luis San Marino.

    I remember you raging about us signing a worthless journeyman goalkeeper from a crap league who you had never heard of called Dubravka. Poor judgment.

    As for Muto. He may turn out to be good. He may not. The opinion of someone who earns a living from watching and analysing German football is still worth adding to the conversation.
