I can confirm that Toby Alderweireld arrived in London at lunchtime today on a flight from Brussels..
(I just posted this on the Alderweireld thread too)
The Northam will just shoehorn his name into the Cortese song:
Alderweireld ooooooooooh,
Alderweireld ooooooooooh,
He comes from Belgium,
He ****ing hates P*mpey
Our favourite journalist Alex Crook has also suggested this. Great news!
A couple of quality incoming players and no major outgoing players would be a great result.
A huge contrast from earlier this Summer at the peak of the 'meltdown'.
Kačaniklić would also fit our transfer policy of signing players with unusual accents in their name.
I would be pleased if we signed him or Mané, I think Redmond would be my 3rd choice from those three.
I'm only speculating here but as the accepted bid for Mané came out of the blue yesterday, a flight may have been hastily arranged. As Munich is up to a 2 hour drive from Salzburg maybe he didn't have enough time to make it if he got caught in traffic or was delayed.
I still think this one still has legs as the information seemed to originate from Sky Sports yesterday which is a good a source as any.
Harlee Dean scored a 117th minute equaliser for Brentford to make it 6-6 (yes, six - six!) vs Dagenham & Redbridge last night.
Brentford went on to win 4-2 on pens.
