I mentioned him as we need more than Ampadu/Gruev in our squad.
That was the problem last year when we didn`t have cover at LB moving Byram there and the same up front when Bamford who never plays a full season got injured.
We can`t go through 50+ games with our first choice 11 playing every game.

West Ham in advanced talks with Leeds over Summerville

still think rutter will end up playing wider. sign a proper number 10.
can't see gnonto being allowed to go

Deal now agreed. Romano reporting 25m+ fee. I hope it's more than that

should be £30m minimum plus add ons

Very poor business if true.
We should be looking for circa 35 or 30 plus a hell of a lot of add ons along with a sell on clause.
I agree I think Rutter will play wide this season and maybe we do look at getting Sara in as our 10.

Norwich want 20m+ for Sara, it won't happen

what they want and what they get are probably miles apart

Summerville contributed a lot and he will be missed but hes replaceable.

I'd be happy with Rutter out wide, more room for him to run at defenders and less pressure to score goals, however he does need to add some more this season.

25m upfront fee
5m in add ons
4m when he plays for.holland so 34m.
about right

It's pretty much in line with what other championship players like Watkins and Benrahma.

Less 15% we pay his previous club so a little under 22 million to re invest.
I see we have offered a couple of million for Ryan Kent.

Forgot to add we get a further 5 million if he can eat 2 tubs of jellied eels without throwing up.

Thought Sommerville was a £40m player not a £25m player - what happened?

Evening chaps up in Northumberland with dodgy signal. It was bound to happen wasn’t it. At least it’s not at the end of the window. Summerville will be very difficult to replace imo but replace well they need to. His goals were huge for us last season, that’s not easy to replace at this level. But I’m confident they’ll get something sorted. Gnonto has to be kept at all costs now. He’s the natural fit on the left. Be interesting to see what we do now, we can throw good money about for the right player.,the sale of Gray sorted the PSR issues so this is big bonus cash. Farke will want a swift replacement
