Let’s hope the recruitment team don’t cock up securing our own player :facepalm:

Well, if we do, I really hope the situation is one the lad is happy with. He has/had the chance of winning a major trophy with his favourite club. If bringing him over here now makes him feel disgruntled or resentful (and I wouldn't blame him) we could be making a major bloomer.

I'm pretty sure the extra £40k a week he'll probably be earning will soften the blow.

The club getting a lot of shit for having to pay compensation to cut his loan short.

Maybe we tried including a recall but Boca refused? They probably didn't imagine him breaking into the Argentina team and qualifying for a WP so saw benefit in him being at a top top South American club.

Either way, all in he's still cost us under 8m even with the reported 625k to terminate his loan early.

An extra £40K a week? How the f*** do you expect a PL footballer to make do and mend on that? The poor lad will have to save up for four a five weeks just to get a half-decent car!

This is true...but I found this quote from when he signed. Seems keen to join and prove himself in the prem.

"They made a big effort, told me about their project and their ideas to keep growing in this league, and I liked their ideas. I liked what they said. We kept in contact with [head of recruitment and analysis]*Paul [Winstanley] and I was eventually able to come and sign everything.

"I watch a lot of football and for me the English league is the best in the world. It is above all the other leagues.*That's the challenge for me, to be able to perform in that league and to bring my contribution to this team.*I feel I am a player who really likes to get on the ball, that is my style."

Yes, just what we want to hear. If it was me, though, I think I'd be miffed at being dragged away from the team I'd dreamed of playing for since an early age on the brink of a major championship. Yes, move in the summer - but not now PLEASE!

Here's hoping he sees it differently!

QUOTE=mashman156;9226504]If we do this deal to bring Mac Allister in, sign Lamptey and maybe bring in a striker then it's been a pretty decent window. Or this could all fall apart tomorrow...25 hours to go[/QUOTE]

True however the only certainty is the the 25 hours to go!

I see your point. Maybe my Albion blinders are on...that and the excitement of a potential incoming. A full Argentina International no less

Very true. Tomorrow the mood on here could be buzzing, or the lowest it's been for a while (well since the Bournemouth game anyway!)

Somewhere over there...
We are going to have to play him when he does come back, I doubt he will be to happy to come here to warm the bench, I reckon he will given a 30 minute cameo to start with to try and make an impact.
He should be match fit when he arrives, just got to hope he adapts to our tactics quickly.
