Seems happy enough! Is it me or does he look a bit...old? Dunna start that nutter from Warrington. He's stuck in his round living room gibbering on about corners.

Very ambitious and potentially great signing. It's a shame we had to lose MVG but I get that we have to balance the books.
Fantastic work from the management team and a 5.5 year contract for a 23 year old keeps him tied to the club and is showing him that we have faith in him.
It'll be interesting to see if he comes in V Everton
I wonder how we'll set up when he's in the side
Ill go with
...........Whelan.........Imbula...........
..................Afellay..................
.Shaq..............Bojan...............Arno
I'm happy that Dioufs still with us. Would have been ridiculous for him to go without any one coming in. Likewise if we do get injuries we still have Ireland and Odom.

A great big welcome to 'Whatsisname' ---- £18,3 m ------- phewwww ! your ours now mate SO good luck !!!!!! Hat trick tomorrow at OT please ! (for that money - I fucking expect it) Would you rather Imbula turned out to be brilliant and you had to eat all your randomly spaced, frenetically capitalised words; or would you rather he was a flop just so you could say "I ----TOLD You SO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Genuine question

Hopefully he can be the N'Zonzi replacement/upgrade we've been waiting for. We've missed that box to box drive from central midfield this season. Obviously we need more, a striker, winger and central defender have to be a priority in the summer but for now he sounds like a player we need. And as for the fee. Considering the size of the new deal that comes in next season this is perfectly affordable, probably the equivalent of a £10-12m signing on the old deal. With 33 points on the board already we can afford to assume we'll still be here next season and the building for next season starts now with our cup exits.
Just a shame we went out of the cup so limply at the weekend so we don't have that much left to play for this season.

In the 90's, I remember being excited when we once signed Mark McNally for £150,000 on deadline day. Less fanfare then, and the deadline was around March I think. I don't think he ever played a game for us.
Today we've bought a player worth more than our entire stadium cost to build.

He'll definitely play alongside Whelan.
Affelay will move into the hole with Bojan as the false 9. Or when we go with Diouf/Walters up top we'll sacrifice one of Bojan/Affelay in the hole.

He'll find it tough to score a hat trick when he isn't even eligible to play tomorrow. What sort of an excuse is that?
