I've always thought Godfrey was decent (and deffo one of, if not the, best players in their side).

Quitely happy with this signing as long as the fee isnt stupid. Think he'll have some ups and downs in the first season with us (much like Keane) but think he will develop really nicely under Carlo (much like Keane)

Just a side point - what do you think of £40m Iwobi?

The fee was nowhere near that figure really mate. It was around 26-28m down with some add ons (which got up to around 32-34m.

It seemed a high figure which has been made worse by the fact he hasn't settled yet. He's a strange player, as he looks a big strong lad who you think will be a powerhouse, but he's actually very lightweight. In and around the box he is quite creative and can carry the ball well, but we've hardly seen that.

He's been a major disappointment thus far, and I'm not sure he's suited to what we want as a club, but he probably deserves the 2nd season to hopefully show what he can do. He does have ability, but it's in very rare flashes at present.
