Ah! cheers mate. So is this a defo then? hope it is as he's quality.

No idea mate, MUEN saying they 'understand' there is haggling over the fee, but I doubt that can be right as Bilbao will insist on the release clause being paid.

Probably more about how & when it's paid.

Yeah we will be sorting out structure of Payments

CB are notorious for taking a long while to settle so please give him patience and he is a kid in a new country,if this happens

Yeahhh we all know that's not going to happen

Will take time as per men



Reports in Spain suggest the deal has been struck, but MEN Sport understands the two clubs are still wrangling over the fee - and the deal may not even get done before next week's transfer deadline.

Back to the Evans thread, you can't put a good man down that quickly.

Must be short on liquid cash at the minute. Give the good Sheikh a bell lads and ask for a sub.

Number of people who defend him on here as a pundit should hang your heads in shame.

He can't help himself, tries to keep himself in check but can't, he is rag scum of the highest order. Him and his sexist brother can both #### off.

Here's how you know Brennan is bullshitting: Bilbao never let a player go for less than the release clause. Even in a case where said player will rot on the bench and then walk for free (as they did with Fernando Llorente)

We don't even have to negotiate with them. We negotiate with the player, he agrees (this has long since happened) and then we deposit the money. Done and dusted.

I like Brennan, but MuEN are attempting to gain mileage from an incredibly straight forward, and speedy, process.

Some proper wankers commenting on that tweet.

If they are actually City fans, real sad fucks who we could do without.

but we didnt have a left sides central defender.

I very much doubt that Pep will regularly go with three centre backs but he will want it as an option: tactical flexibility is something he values.

I think it bears repeating that fundamentally all Pep's teams essentially play 3-4-3 although the line-ups are usually shown as 4-3-3. The three at the back is normally two CB's and a DM dropped in between. Even with the ball playing skills of our CB's, with AFL if he signs, Pep will still prefer the skills of a Fern or Fred(?) in that central role.
