@stokecity: Say hello to @kevinwimmer27, who has today joined #SCFC from @SpursOfficial on a five year deal for a fee worth £18m

I think it's win-win. Purely due to the reality of the contract clause. They get to keep the player AND get more ££ than the clause.

What was interesting about this recent Keita development to me was they actually did this part of the deal quietly.

From Telegraph Merseyside reporter Chris Bascombe: Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/08/28/liverpool-signnaby-keita-club-record-deal-will-have-wait-year/

If there is, Jeremy Wilson will probably reveal it. He covers both clubs.

Well, it won't be him.....

Agree with both of you but the funny thing is that he supposedly wants to leave because he's not playing enough games in his favoured position.

From SSN:

@_pauljoyce: Liverpool agree club record deal with RB Leipzig for Naby Keita which will see him sign NEXT SUMMER.

Affordable if VvD f*cks off.

- New contract for Wenger. - No top class defender signed. - No top class defensive mid signed. Same old.

Kevin Wimmer to join #SCFC from Tottenham in £15m deal | @JPercyTelegraph reports http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/08/27/kevin-wimmer-join-stoke-city-tottenham-15m-deal/

Has he done any media at all? I'm using the "Post-Euro's" Fonte scenario as my barometer.

How did he do yesterday guys?

Delusion is in the air up there.

No Ziyech No party, brother

Bet they sign him still.

Ross has a good handle on Scottish players, do I'd assume we decided against it (or don't have the cash). This one seemed similar to the Chalobah in the "no brainer" stakes.

Hell of a signing by WBA to get Oliver Burke for £15m.

@JpercyTelegraph: Stoke have made a bid worth up to £15m for Spurs defender Kevin Wimmer. Palace & West Brom also in. #scfc #thfc #wba

I did call it a "laughable twitter rumour", so I wasn't exactly giving it validation.

Can we have Sigurdsson as part of it?

It was obviously Barca working their way down their shopping list.
