[Albion] Carlos Baleba SINGS a 5-year deal

[Stumpy Tim]

I think the most important thing here, and which has been tragically overlooked, is that I've started two transfer threads this window and once this is official we will have signed both players.

Can you start one saying that we're going to sign Kevin De Bruyne?

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

I don't know anything about him except the basics but French football fans are pretty much saying they should have got more and he'll be a monster in the PL.

Many french comments I've read compare him to a young N'golo Kante. That'll do.

On the ground for six minutes and headed straight back to Lille. Suggests it may have been picking up from Biggin Hill rather than dropping off.

 

[Hamilton]

Yes, I noticed that. Spins away and very quick acceleration. Agreed personal terms a while back.
Doubt he’ll start straight away but can be eased in with minutes off the bench.
We needed a physical DM with pace.

Off to Union Saint Gilloise!

Anyone else notice a subtle difference in our transfer targets this window, particularly to replace Caicedo? Before we were signing young players most hadn't heard of, now we are targeting still young players that have some hype and lots of big clubs sniffing around rather than just one or two, having proven the pathway. Whilst still maintaining the under the radar scouting of people like Mazilu.

Keep playing the cards like this and we become a go to for the very best youngsters regardless of other interest

quite a i bit of hype about moises (man u) before we signed him. think the formula looks pretty much the same.

the difference that might occur is that these 'bigger' cluns have always been 'happy' for us to sign, develop and then sell them on for large amounts. Talk of that changing but as yet we havn't been snuffed by a 'bigger' club for one of our young targets.

If he sings there is definitely a song in here somewhere!!

To replace Lallana as our new sick note?

Not really - they're like taxis. Drop passenger who goes to waiting car, scoot off on next trip.

Hi Fab

 

[Bozza]

Indeed. So they're likely taking someone/something to Lille.

Regardless, none of us are likely to ever know, and it's a triviality in terms of the (hopeful) transfer.

 

[The Fits]

Incredible.
What we need beyond on the ball ability are the players that can win the ball back quickly. Haven't seen the stats to prove it but I can guarantee Mac and Moises were in the top ten for how quickly they could regain possession. This is one of the key things Baleba and Diaz will provide.

 

[peterward]

Now this is more like it

Sounds like one of our continental transfers from circa 25 years ago.

€30 add ons included!

It's not trivial. Private jet tracking during the transfer window is why we are here

How are you distinguishing a drop-off taking longer than a pick-up ?

 

[saafend_seagull]

African cup for him too, 5 or so weeks miss

 

[Southern Scouse]

I wish the Reds could just borrow Tony and Paul to give our recruitment team some tips.
£26.5m for a 19 year old who played six times….. and you just know he’s gonna be a superstar.

 

[Bald Head]

Off to Union Saint Gilloise!

I don't think we can loan to USG as we are both in same European competition .Please correct me if i am wrong.

Love him or loathe him, Romano has just re-tweeted this in preparation for one of his pathetic and self gratulating ‘I told you so’ posts.
