Need talksport to hurry up and confirm Sancho.
Yeah!In what sense? he’s a £40m left back if it wasn’t for his contract so we’ve got him for £18m.
Instantly first choice and much better than Shaw. Improving your first team for £18m is good business.
Hope its true
Probably because we've freed up the best part of 100m set aside for Sancho?
Looks like Woodward left the key to the warchest locked in his O.T office and couldn't be bothered to go back and get it until today.
Talksport have been on it these last two days. What the feck is happening?

No idea what sort of player he is but Luke Shaw saying the other day that you needed more signings and then you signing a left back for 20 million is quite amusing!
He'll still play over him most games.
Romano confirmed it. Done dealo.
Romano beaten to the punch by Talksport? Oh the shame!
I like Shaw but he needs to be pushed, he either steps up now or steps aside.
Cavani and Telles combination. 
I have been super excited since yesterday.

They cant win. If they try and negotiate it like a chicken race then fans will call for their heads -- only a couple of million quid. Forget about it and just pay up. Fecking cheap bastards.
When you want to close the deal fast they will inevitably over-pay.
Anyway, the term overpay is subject to his performance.

Do you really think so?
Like I said, I don't know much about Telles but you surely are not paying 20 million for a backup left back?
Can someone give me a realistic write up of this fella
I only ask as 1 Brazil cap for a nearly 28 year old even with some of the players ahead of him and seems like he has bounced around a few clubs in Europe

Why does their always have to be some moaning?Considering what Pep pays for fullbacks, it's actually a very good deal.
I expect the opposite. Telles will bench Shaw for good.
Is that fee that much these days? How much did Emerson cost?
A FB in the team who can actually deliver a decent cross? Tears in my eyes
Yup, much needed squad depth.
VDB, Cavani and Telles in
Alexis, Dalot, Smalling and Perreira out so far.
I reckon Laura Woods has a source.Talksport have been on it these last two days. What the feck is happening?
Good signing this
It’s gonna be nice seeing a proper threat from a full back.
£18m is a good price, they’d want double that if his contract wasn’t coming to an end.

€20m is what Marcos fecking Rojo cost six years ago. And he's terrible.
Emerson? Roma said 20 million euros plus some addons. We didn't sign him to be a backup though, he just turned out to be shit!
Nah I'd be surprised if Telles isn't first choice fairly quickly. He's very good.
Love Laura Woods.
Considering that we basically paid what Porto want from the start after a few weeks of saying we won't pay it, just shows clubs all around that we can be mugged no matter how much we posture.
Considering what Pep pays for fullbacks, it's actually a very good deal.
In order to get a better profile on what Telles is like I've found some videos of all his touches versus different opponents. Unlike hand-picked compilations, this will show his strengths and weaknesses much better.
Good signing. Doesn't excuse the lateness though. Woodward needs to be pushed.
Rojo was bought at this time to be a starter here, actually.
Telles will bench Shaw (hopefully)
Get in!
Can see Shaw gradually playing more often in a back 3 now possibly.
