[Albion] Carlos Baleba SINGS a 5-year deal

[Bodian]

Were these his reports by any chance??

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

He looks very physical (apols if this has already been posted)

[Affy]

We won’t sell them at a high price if Chelsea stop trying to buy them

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Great news!

 

[SweatyMexican]

Now I’m a Baleba!

 

[Weststander]

You get the impression that Crook is now our key media connection. Pals with Barber?

He only seems to deal in facts, highly unusual in transfer news online.

 

[Bald Head]

No idea. My guess is Yes - but that's worthless.

Your guess was correct, now is the time to bask in the glory.

 

[Mancgull]

From the videos I’ve seen of him he looks a beast of a player. Just what we need to replace the Caicedo role.
I’m sure he’ll be gradually introduced, but we absolutely needed a player like Baleba who offers ‘different characteristics’ , as Roberto states.

Does Kudus play the same role?

27M + 3M add ons and a sell on , deal done.

Seems everyone wants a sell on clause from us nowadays!

That’s in €, not £.

Equates to £23.2m plus £2.57m in add ons

Let’s hope the medical goes well now - our midfield looked very samey in that half. Definitely missing a more physical presence against West Ham’s approach.

 

[forumwayseagull]

Only question has to be WHY has he be named in the Lille squad for tomorrows game?

 

[The Fits]

There's going to be a lot of pressure on this poor kid.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Was he there tonight like Pedro was at the Everton game?!

He becomes an important player for us straight away assuming it does go through.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Does Kudus play the same role?

No and he was having a medical at West Ham whilst the game was going on according to the commentators.

Exactly £20m less than Kudus.

 

[Mancgull]

He’s been on the bench and not come on for the past two games. Lille still trying to get their replacement in.
We desperately need a defensive midfielder with a bit of bite and pace to add to the team. Caicedo leaving was always going to be a big miss. If Baleba doesn’t come off then we need a back up which is assume is Lokonga.

This guy is usually pretty reliable too
