What we've also learned is we do the groundwork and test the water before effectively agreeing what the price is. Remember early in the window we were told Isak 'wasn't for sale' and we had one or two low bids rejected? Well, we circled back and got him. I fully suspect that the same may happen with Diaby and the CHO move, for me, isn't just a coincidence.
So I think the final two moves of the window are almost certainly Gallagher (loan) and Diaby bought for around £45m.
I have no idea if we are done or if the owners have seen what's happened and think there's a chance of top 6 and decided to go for it and we will buy a couple more
Don't think we will get one of these (I was part of the 60M brigade though so what do I know!)I'm really calling it we will be top 6 if we add one of either Maddison or Diaby.
Exciting times ahead.

He's already training, mate, this is just with the media team now.
Bit of an anti climaxIsak is the signing that will have us challenging for 6th or 7th.
Bit of an anti climax
I’m expecting to finish 1st
That's next season.
In the meantime, we can be happy with 6th while laughing the massive mackems losing their manager to Real Stoke City.
No, that's Sunderland.Instead of Fake Stoke City ?
