I suspect this one's cost us a fair few quid, but it's still good to have it sorted.
Hopefully not the full Philogene fee

No, don't you remember when we qualified for Europe we got a fine because we breached their rules but not England's? There's different rules/requirements under different legislations.
No, I don’t remember that at all TBH!!
Liverpool have been cleared of any financial fair play breaches by Uefa, but Hull City have been fined €200,000 (£145,000). The Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) announced the decisions following a meeting on Friday.
Uefa said in a statement: “The CFCB investigatory chamber announced that Sparta Prague and Liverpool have been found (following the submission of additional financial information) to have satisfied the break-even requirement and are no longer under investigation.”
Hull, who played in the qualifying rounds of the Europa League, have agreed to settle for the fine and to pay an additional €400,000 (£290,000) if they are not compliant with FFP for the 2015-16 season.
Maybe we are looking for over £1mill for Longman because we'd be happy to keep him? Think he could be a good squad player for us this coming season. Appears not to be short of suitors which says something.
As for Ohio and Rosenior. He showed from the start he could be a useful impact sub at the minimum. I don't see that it was anything to do with Rosenior getting him fit or improving him. Towards the end he showed exactly what he showed from the start. Rosenior just didn't fancy him over others playing out of position and imho he was wrong. Funny how some people pickj and choose who Rosenior (supposedly) improved whilst ignoring those that didn't.
No he didn't. Not against Stoke he didn't.
He scored by being in the right place against the bottom of the league but that doesn't guarantee him game time for the next 10 games.
Ohio didn't play very much, and he never really looked any better than a very raw striker with some good physical attributes. Sometimes when a player scores a goal it makes people think he played better than he did. And very often a player who doesn't play much is given a lot more leeway by fans than one who plays more often. Noah's Ipswich performance wasn't some all-round masterclass, he just finished well at the back post when a ball happened to fall to him.
If he played more regularly and lost the shiny new player appeal, you could imagine people would be all over him. He's exactly the profile of striker that fans have little patience for when they become a regular player: fast, runs around a lot but doesn't have great technique and looks clumsy and cumbersome.
If we sign him, fine, it's better than having no strikers. But it would strike me as a club signing rather than a Walter one, and I do think we should temper our expectations about how good he'll be because some of the hype around his end to last season has become inflated.

I sorta agreeI would have signed Ohio. He definitely had something about him, he had a knack of being in the right place at the right time. How many strikers have we had that didn’t have that - plenty.
