I think FDJ can be a really good signing but I really think we will need a lot more. We need at least a CB, RB, DM, RW and backup CF. It's a lot of ask in the remainder of the window but I think we need to fill at least 3 of those positions still
They knocked off £4 million, bravo.
Yet you use the original Roman influenced names for the days instead of a 21st century alternative like Satzdayz or Mondzzzz. Checkmate.
Goes Monday to Sunday for Craig David so I’m sticking with that
69m is surely WUM.
I can't imagine one chairman calling another with an offer of £69m for such and such whilst keeping a straight face. It's literally impossible.

In any civilized country monday is considered the first day of the week.
Dont care what any Romans said, they're gone.

Just waiting for the Ornstein update so I can unzip and get really Hornstein about this.
Yeah, four MILLION.
I'm seriously amazed at how many of you look at the first number and ignore the string of 0s after it. It's four million. 75 thousand a week. It's not pocket change.
And if De Jong had already signed what would be different? He'd still be on holiday.
Folk really are just up for complaining over everything here nowadays .
Tweet him. I bet he’s a Monday man
A 69, not 69m.
The international standard for the representation of dates and times has Monday as the first day of the week.
Most of the Americas and some of Asia consider Sunday the first, parts of North Africa and the Middle East say Saturday is the first and pretty much the rest of the world says Monday.

What about people who define their weeks with the term "calendar week"?

What is the Calendar Week?
In Europe the calendar week is a week that begins with Monday and ends with Sunday. Altogether, the year usually has 52 calendar weeks.
£4m, that's what? A decent pizza?
69m.
Any excuse to end the week with a bit of throat.

To paraphrase the bible- on the seventh day (Sunday) He rested. Therefore the first day is Monday.
Is this not a successful negotiation?
Unless....
No we didn’t. That’s exactly how you make a profit off a player. Sign a player for a low fee on low wages. Give them enough game time to put them in the shop window. They get international caps. They gain in value. The problem with us is we've given insane wages to pretty much everybody on their second deal and no other club wants to match it so it majorly eats into the transfer fee if we can do a deal at all. James was good business if you want to make money from selling players (which we clearly don’t care that much about)
We wouldn’t be making Barcelona any offer in pounds, it’s merely a conversion.
The important thing is we get him in before the team return from their holiday. If we got him on transfer deadline day to save four million I could understand the frustration but the reality is we still have time to integrate him into the team and reduced the price a bit.
How long until some people in here start moaning that it’s ‘gone quiet’
in the words of LVG:
HORNY!!
Gone too quiet for my liking
With extra pepperoni, no less.
James was shite though and everyone knew it. We were just lucky Leeds and Bielsa wanted to break the bank for him. Firpo and him is the the Leeds equivalent of us signing Maguire on a 7 year deal for 80mil.
The processes you're describing is entirely irrelevant. We'd have held onto him if it wasn't for Leeds throwing money at his because we'd have overvalued him if other clubs came knocking offering us 10-15 million.
RW, RB and a versatile striker and we’ll be laughing. We are not really linked to any RB’s though, are we ?
That was the Sabbath which was actually Saturday according to the time period. Christians changed the Sabbath to Sunday at some stage later while the Jews kept Saturday as the Sabbath.
However, as somebody pointed out the internationally recognised calendar has Monday at the start of the week so that's the end of that.
Watch your calories please.
Health is no joke.
Murtough is now officially the strong man of Europe.Is this not a successful negotiation?
This deal is dead in the water
No it's chump change. We definitely should have paid what they asked for straight up and that wouldn't in any way have adversely affected our budget or ability to get decent prices for the other 3/4 players we need. /sIs this not a successful negotiation?
Are you confused?
Presumably these people wouldn't bother selling players valued at £4m, they would just give them away.
First piece of the puzzle and its arguably the most important one.
I presume he’s just concerned with doing a good job for his employers rather than meeting the requirements to win silly internet accolades and approvals. Him saving his employers 4m would be appreciated and a sign of him doing his job well.
True, fluid ounces would be more appropriate given the figure.
56m, no doubt half in clauses and 10 year installments. We are shameless
