Good bit of business.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

In this market I'm going to say that is a STUNNING bit of business from Derby.

 

[chaileyjem]

This just reminds me that signing AK for a mere £2m as recently as Jan 2016 is probably the best bit of Albion business since picking up Peter Ward for £30K in 1974.

...or Gary Hart for £1,000 plus a set of kit

Very disappointing we didn't go for this.

Will reserve judgement who we do sign before regretting those we don't, but if we don't get a decent striker in I'll agree.

Agree - we must have something better lined up.

Didn't we? You know that?

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

According to Naylor we showed initial interest in him but then that quickly disappeared....
I presume due to his wage demands??

If this is the case I find this alarming

 

[Justice]

Very risky for £8m should be £2m.

Christ you wuld do well to buy me for £2 million in todays market...

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Good player and would have been very happy at that fee but yes lots of other factors. Sounds like we got a better player anyway if visa comes through but still would have been a luxury to have both.

You're putting 2 and 2 together and making 5. Could be a number of reasons, perhaps he was only going to be in and out of the starting 11 and we were expecting the fee Leicester were demanding to be less.

One of the stand out players in the championship last season?

Seems a better deal than the unproven Swiss league player we are looking at for same price!!

 

[Hugo Rune]

This is a real shame. He looked a great prospect.

He would have been superb at left wing or number 10. But if he has taken the salary rather than the opportunity to play Premier League football, I'd question his commitment to us long term.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Plays in the position as Izquierdo, looks like we didn't want both.

Or Bobby Zamora from Bristol Rovers. £100.000 in 2000.

Well, it makes a change for us and 'good bit of business' to be mentioned in the same universe

Dwamena is a striker, Lawrence isbn't.

 

[GolfingGull]

Could mean Vydra is surplus to requirements..........
