After the Olympics, hopefully.
The MLS season ends in Oct and the play offs run to Dec.

Really ? No transfer has a fee accepted and wrapped up same day. Player deal need finalising, medical etc
Speculation, but wondering whether some of this has been done already, given the olympics etc…

Player deals are usually done by the time a fee is accepted. He is also at the Olympics so a medical probably already done. The fee is the longest part to deal with. Most clubs give permission to speak to another club once interest is registered.
Will be interesting to see how he'll be used. I think he looks a fair bit like Gross - he's fundamentally a creative and attacking player who likes to work hard and take a lot of defensive responsibility. Brings another kind of balance compared to using a player like Joao Pedro or Enciso in a 10 role.
Doubt he'll play all that much this first season, its a gigantic step from MLS to PL, especially in the tactical part of the game.

Still time for Chelsea to swoop in with an 80m bid and 300k per week wages; assuring him of very few games next season but a great chance to go on loan to Dover Athletic a year later when his confidence is ruined.
Do you think a medical has been done at the Olympics ?

I think all players have to do one when they go to the Olympics.
Would we not want to run our own one though

We may have also asked for extra tests to be done, but most doctors trust other doctors.

Selling our two main midfielders from the previous season two summers in a row is a bit concerning.

Those two players you mentioned are part of the reason why our midfield has been incredibly easy to play against at times and run through. Gross is obviously fantastic but both of them are not good defensively

Sky Sports now reporting a deal is imminent. They also mention him being expected to stay at Inter Miami on loan until the end of the MLS season.

I'm not sure the club insurance company will see it that way, hell of a trust thing when millions are at stake
Good. Think he would have struggled for game time. Not sure about letting him stay at the dire level that is MLS but could imagine it was part of the price.

Actually, insurance companies may prefer it to come from an independent and internationally recognised sports scientists, than from a club that have stakes in that player.
The tips and insight he’ll get playing alongside the greatest player of all time more than makes up for the lack of quality in that league.
True, should be learning quite a lot from those veterans.
