I love how on the bbc sport site on the same page that it says "van gal won't buy panic signings" it says they're about to sign an unproven 19 year old for £36m

No wonder we get held to ransom when the Rags keep getting mugged.

the iron turtle is rapidly turning himself into a fullblown city hero,
the comedy writing was on the wall from the moment the daft fucker arrived for his first day at work sporting a tie resembling city colours.

long may our gloating continue.

Agent Van Gall take it easy as you may blow your cover.

I read it was 75m Euros, for a 19 year old unknown. He won't come from their academy at that price this year but I bet he will next year when they sell him or loan him out. Of course if he is the next trannie they will sell him to RM.for 150m

19 years old. 60-odd games. 13 goals. £54m.

It's odd, SSN seem to only be using the £36m fee while mentioning there may be add ons as well. I don't seem to recall that being how they report our transfers this summer? What are the odds?

I'm sure the daily star will be on it like scotch bonnet.

A rather astonishing purchase. Highly rated he may be and potential is what they are paying the big bucks for similar to us buying Sterling (although at least Sterling had 3 years prem experience). But while we were in a position to take the "risk" on Sterling having great attacking players that score goals already, this guy is basically going to have to be their saviour with Rooney so out of form. Huge pressure on him to come in and make an instant impact.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

He would only want to join a big club, regardless, but Lacazette would have been much less of a risk for a similar price?

Just seen the Thierry Henry reference on SSN..spat my Pringles out

Could form a lethal partnership with the 'WHITE PELE'!
