I think he's a very talented player. I first saw him back in January and wrote on the newbie thread about him as I was very impressed.

Jesus he's aged, good luck to him at Reading.
I did that with a girl once. Wouldn't leave her alone. She's now my wife
What? In the 15 years since he's been here or just in general?

Great news.
The first reply to Athletic Clubs post is a City fan calling them dickheads. 
How long will it be without a second signing before we start getting restless?
Bailly has fed the muppet early, but I'm already hoping we announce something else soon. I think if it gets to about July 10 without another signing being sealed or close, we might get a few restless cafters on here

Probably not much action during the euros.
And players who perform well, will double their price.
Bleh!
My thoughts exactly. There was a thread some time ago asking what the transfer saga this year will be.
He looks like a deflated Bruce Willis.
Just can't believe how old Stam looks there, making me feel old.
They can claim champions league, Pep and a shed load of money yet they still can't get a player from a non champions league club by offering more money. This is nothing short of hilarious.
This is probably not the right thread, but i wonder if the British clubs are waiting for the Brexit poll before any big fees moves. GBP has depreciated a lot in last 3 months.
Well its the Euro's so anyone who thinks there will be transfer news anytime soon will be disappointed. Expect things to ramp up after the tournament ends
I think a lot of big companies hold large reserves of foreign currency (especially those trading internationally) to protect themselves against market fluctuations, only buying Euros for example when the Pound is particularly strong. I'd be surprised if Woody has to take a briefcase full of banknotes down to the Beaurea d'exchange every time we buy a player, although nothing would surprise me.

Could mean that Sadio Mane is leaving.
It's difficult to hedge in football as nearly all transfer fees are paid through ammortization i.e. if a player signs a four year contract then an e.g. £40m fee payment will be paid at £10m per year to the seller over the course of the contract. I don't pretend to know what happens to acounts when a player is sold before that period ends but it won't affect the payment schedules that much. It's a big reason why the players that go for the biggest fees sign the longest duration contracts (Bale signing a 6 year deal) - the buyer can spread the payments/pay smaller amounts per year. Even when the Spanish banks prop up Reals fee
Long term FX rates will be important for forecasting overall transfer costs.
Yep.
Wrll considering most respected economists think it'll get worse post brexit they'd be mad to wait (if we leave)...
More likely the euros.
He looked good against Northern Ireland and Ajax is an ideal palce for him to continue his development.
I'm already restless. C'mon Woodward, get your finger out.

Sounds like a Liverpool or Stoke signing..
Considering his name means highmountain - I would have to go with Stoke
His contact is up at the end of my month, so good luck with that.
Hope the flow aint heavy and dont you go all moody on us.
Very little tonight in Spanish papers so far, only Umtiti to Barca is seemingly edging closer.

Telegraph: #LCFC offer Riyad Mahrez a new contract worth £100,000 a week.
About 15-16 years ago - United had a wage-ceiling of about £35.000 - and we almost lost Keane because of it. Now Leicester can offer players 3 times that. It's not a bad time to be a professional footballer is it ?
Both vardy and mahrez offered same deals. Kante hasnt been offered this. Maybe they have accepted he will leave ?
Hasn't he been ? I thought he has been?
Don't go for it Riyad, we'll give you twice that amount if you sign for us
I am tempted to conclude this is all but a done deal
Yeah, I agree... just wondering about the fee, which was quoted to be around €20m last week.

Koeman confirmed as Everton Manager.
Good move for both.
West Ham and Everton will be up there next season challenging for a top 4 spot.
