This (if it comes off) is the first signing we’ve made that will make the other prem fan bases go “right then, they’ve got a chance.”

I prefer being completely written off but it’s still nice that some are starting to take notice. <laugh>
Yep. I do think we’ve signed well so far but Xhaka would be next level. Love the experience he’d bring along with Mandava.
 
It’s very encouraging, and suggests he’s got his heart set on a move.

If he was only open to a move, he’d stay quiet and see what else is in the pipeline. However, he’s explicitly told his agent he wants to come here.
Maybe spoke to fellow swiss int
He’s not only open to coming here. He’s full on wanting to come here. That’s massive.

maybe hes had a chat with fellow countryman Fabian Schar up the road asking what the N.E is like to live in etc and heard only good things
 
For Xhaka to be so forceful and specific in his desire to come here and the request for the deal to be concluded quickly, it must be some sales pitch from KLD.

Xhaka must have been sold that there were more top drawer lads on their way over you'd think or a meringue?
Maybe heard about the pink slice

£25m is insulting mind.

Yeah, especially when it's been reported/quoted that Brentford value him at £40 million. Putting in such low ball offers, which they've apparently done with Trafford and Ekitike, is risky. It can either make you look like your not serious or opens the door for someone to sweep in late on and seal it (which seems to have happened with Ekitike).

I was being slightly facetious when I suggested that Diarra was prominent in destroying an England team that Longstaff is nowhere near, nor has been at any level
But what the hell, if they can come up with ****, so can I
I bet you the Mergs wish they had sold Longstaff for that £60m when Manure came calling a couple of seasons ago
 
Has anyone watched Xhaka lately? Few leverkusem fans om twitter saying he’s been poor last few months. Could be many reasons for that, love the signing though. What a weird 12 months it’s been
