Yes mate. But on loan instead. The price is agreed and we'll make it permanent in the January window.
I love the strength we've got in CM now. The last time we had it was the Yann's and the time before that was ages ago. Such a key position to fail to fill properly.
Huge position - it's the engine room and if the engine isn't up to scratch then the car won't function very well. A couple of loans in and we'll be spot on.
That's not confirmation though is it? I'm not saying they're wrong but confirmation comes from the club, not a fan blog. They should go with 'Exclusive'.
Assuming that we have actually signed him it's probably just a case of getting him in for the old scarf pics so they can announce it officially with a bit of a song and dance. That scarf will be worn thin by now, excellent work in the transfer window I'd say.
My guessing is that now it's changed to a loan deal that they haven't rushed as much as a normal deadline day deal transfer.
This loan thing is interesting. So, essentially, the transfer window is still open for us? As anyone we want to sign, we can just put in a loan offer with obligation to buy in January instead. Same thing. Is that right? Obviously the usual 5 man restriction applies but given we only have 1 loan so far that shouldn't be an issue.
