In this market I'm going to say that is a STUNNING bit of business from Derby.

This just reminds me that signing AK for a mere £2m as recently as Jan 2016 is probably the best bit of Albion business since picking up Peter Ward for £30K in 1974.
Will reserve judgement who we do sign before regretting those we don't, but if we don't get a decent striker in I'll agree.

Agree - we must have something better lined up.
Didn't we? You know that?

According to Naylor we showed initial interest in him but then that quickly disappeared....
I presume due to his wage demands??
If this is the case I find this alarming

Very risky for £8m should be £2m.

Good player and would have been very happy at that fee but yes lots of other factors. Sounds like we got a better player anyway if visa comes through but still would have been a luxury to have both.
You're putting 2 and 2 together and making 5. Could be a number of reasons, perhaps he was only going to be in and out of the starting 11 and we were expecting the fee Leicester were demanding to be less.
One of the stand out players in the championship last season?
Seems a better deal than the unproven Swiss league player we are looking at for same price!!
This is a real shame. He looked a great prospect.
He would have been superb at left wing or number 10. But if he has taken the salary rather than the opportunity to play Premier League football, I'd question his commitment to us long term.

Not seen such Bravery!
Plays in the position as Izquierdo, looks like we didn't want both.
