Transfermarkt says they paid £9.6 and we paid £7.9, so that's numberwang. A look at @handsworthvilla previous tweets suggests he either knows someone ITK or is himself ITK.

Yeah - I'm sure he knows more...just pointing out where the £10m came from and how many different numbers there are out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's something to do with the contract side of things. Wasn't he the one who said about grealish signing a new deal? But did that ever happen?

Mantis Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Can he play RB? Because if the worst comes to the worst and we don't get a RB I'd rather have Baker/Elphick with Chester at RB than have Hutton or Richards play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'd imagine they paid £5m upfront and then £3m was based on number of performances and other targets. Theyve sold him for a fraction under £7m so it's possible both parties can be correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 12, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2016 From my limited knowledge of him, Pulis played him RB at baggies, but I've no idea how well he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be best in a back 3 and i think that this would be our best option as it would provide far more cover for Amavi/Bacuna to get up & down the wings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great from WBA fans I speak to. But he will be CB for us - Where he excelled for Hull .... ..and with the defence shielded by midfield brutes Bacuna, Westwood, and Gardner - he should be well protected... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said terms had been agreed and contracts had been submitted to the FA (which was true). Actually Remi Garde confirmed as much in several press conferences after the window, where he complained about our ability to attract players compared to other teams. He referred to the Doumbia situation specifically. For what its worth, I'm not ITK, in the sense that I don't have a clue about speculation or discussions with players. Just see the contracts when they are submitted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if the terms had been agreed and contracts submitted to the FA there's no going back from there? What do I know anyway, I'm just sat here waiting for the next transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do I know anyway, I'm just sat here waiting for the next transfer You would think so, wouldn't you? I don't really know how it worked out in terms of them swooping in, but it was as much of a 'last minute deal' as is possible. I think he agreed terms with us but then Newcastle came in at the last minute and he managed to wrangle out of the agreement with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 12, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 12, 2016 Good signing I hope - we need better character at the back. Now, two or three central midfielders and we'll have a squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
