If he is going to leave he'll leave.
Celtic go out tonight, then he'll leave as no CL to keep him.
Celtic go through, they have time to buy a replacement and can offer CL so will get a better replacement.
Just spoken to my mate who is involved with the club and we have a player booked in for a medical tomorrow. He wouldn't tell me who due to his job but maybe an announcement tomorrow?
The thing with these loans is we are starting to get a bit of depth to midfield. A few different options to change style or formation. Something we lacked last year.
I stand by what I said when the sales started. Our starting 11 maybe weaker but our squad will be stronger.
If you think the prices we got for our departed players was good apparently Fulham are signing Ross McCormack from Leeds for £11m!! I had to double check there wasn't a point between the two ones.
Now that is crazy money!!
It seems he has been in southampton already. Surely our training ground will impress him and terms will have been discussed. Just need to get it over the line now.
De Vrij to replace Lovren
Blind to replace Shaw
Tadic to replace Lallana
Pelle to replace Lambert
Money left over to buy Claise and Martins Ini.
Lose 4, gain 6.
