The development squad seem to have a totally different transfer remit than Adkins, this is a signing instigated by the development scouts and Hunter I'd expect, with a view to potentially being first team, but this isn't a signing for the first team now.

The problem with Hargreaves is that he won't stay fit, it's not possible. He's knees are totally shot, I'm surprised he hasn't retired if I'm honest. If it's pay as you play, no harm at all, but don't expect many games from him if he does sign.

Nope, just the ''Football way'' of doing things. There isn't any transfer in the world which is straight forward, trust me. There are so many niggly bits of paper, and clauses to go through before anything can happen. This has just been released into the media, that's all. If it wasn't for his club this would still be a 'rumored' interest, and we wouldn't be panicking etc. All of what Vitesse have said should really have stayed behind closed doors if we're honest.

He's basically at the same level as Neymar, in terms of stature and reputation over there. Big, big clubs are tracking him.

good one skates, their football knowledge was always pretty poor.

If we've got 40 million euro's lying around, let's go for it!

That is done and dusted, barring a little fuss over nothing.

He's a very, very good prospect. There seems to be less excitement over this one than Butland, which is odd, seeing as Butland played in exactly the same league as Gazzannga last year! and I'm pretty confident that he will cost a hell of alot less than Butland.

Nah, seems to be identical to Jemal now the translations have become clearer. That fell through because there was some sort of odd third party payment that they wanted us to pay at the end of the deal. This seems completely identical to me. Will be interesting to see what exactly the third part is...... and I'll echo also what someone else said, this is exactly why we only annouce deals when it's done, dusted and signed! All the people wanting constant transfer updates are living in another planet, the club would look like fools if they had announced similar to what his parent club did over the weekend.

As I said a few days back, this started to scream of amar jemal

No better than Steve?? It wont' take much to be more influential than him. One of our most underwhelming signings from last year, and that's why the RM position is a priority to fix.

Nice one rangrers, bloody idiots.

That's a wind up, no worries.

To be honest, I think the RM slot is an absolute priority this summer. We mixed and matched so much in that position last year and not once did we have a consistent formula. We need a proper out and out right winger as a priority signing IMO.

That guy on the Palace forum was also ''ITK'' regarding the Fonte deal all those years back, remember the name.

I've never rated Kirean Richardson, the definition of average. Gallas is not the player he once was.

Do you support anyone, or anything, ever?

There is no way Leicester are paying him that, their highest paid player is Beckford who earns 35k p/w

Adomah is a good old fashioned winger, not afraid to run at full backs and beat them. Love those sort of direct wingers, and he also has the ability to cross and beat them too.

It was in one of the newspaper articles I think, and to be honest most wing backs/full backs are versatile to play either side, but I can imagine Buttner will be primarily used on the left and we go out and buy an additional RB!

Fast, agile player, bit short, just 5ft 9. But he is strong and has great stamina and endurance. Very consistent player and has a high work rate. Mentally strong and not complacent. He lacks a bit in technique, but can throw in a good cross. His passing is decent and he can shoot from distance. However, his tactical insight is below par. He still needs mature a bit in that department. Like i said good pace, great tackling, Man marking is above par just his height and his jumping can be a disadvantage. From a fan at his current club.

He captained this team to 3 trophies in 3 seasons, personally I'd be a bit miffed if he was just pushed out of the door. One of the players who quite clearly deserves an opportunity, not a week-in week-out opportunity, but I sill think he'll play in some capacity next year.

TBH they scored their penalty 5mins later, on the same pitch. He looked nervous as hell before he struck that, but that's not saying he'll miss when he next takes one - it's just that his first didn't inspire any confidence!

Thanks for that, really good to hear that.

What I love about those clips, apart from the amazing memories and goals, are the fact that the oppo fans clap after every goal. He was one of those players that all fans liked, a true premiership great.
