I am damned glad we got him even fans of our neighbours think he is a good signing. Hope RM gives him the game time from the off.

This is a thing of beauty. We have somehow signed one of Barcelona's top prospects on a permanent deal for a comically low fee and he's come out with 'Once a blue, always a blue'. It's like a scenario from a Champ Manager cheat.
What a time to be alive.

@Dithering Dougie, my friend, in skimming this thread I haven't seen your thoughts on this deal, what do you think? And where would you play him this coming season?

I think for the price it was to good a deal to turn down to be honest mate. It's a small stake high return gamble really. The worst we can do is lose him again at the end of the season with a tiny profit, but for that to happen we'll have seen him have a great season and with that the team as a whole will have done well.
I'm not his biggest fan, to many times the same mistakes were made over and over again for me without either acknowledgment from him or care. But he's a few years older now and his dream of staring for Barca is fading so if he wants to be a big player nows the time to start producing. He's got talent and obviously had a great grounding so even if he doesn't fulfill the hype he gets he could still be a very good player and great value for £4m.
Also I don't expect he'll get the cotton wool treatment he got the first time around. The management, senior pros and the likes of Lukaku and Coleman will be less inclined to show deference towards him now he's on a permanent deal, which is something that will help him develope properly in my opinion.
What about yourself Mk? I've stayed away from this thread to much and it grows by the second because of his hype so it's hard to keep.
He's Barcelona's Jose Baxter.
Let's calm ourselves down for a second right now.

good enough for us then.
seriously, he's exciting (almost as often as he's mad frustrating)...and if there's one thing we need after this season gone, it's excitement.

As much as it pains me to compliment massive head, that was a work of art takedown. That was a pleasure to behold. I doff my cap.

With recent signings, I think that we are looking at a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Barry and McCarthy as the 2, cleverly, Barkley, (if he stays) and deulofeu, so we are looking at back up for that formation. I think Mirallas is off to Spurs (may be Lennon in return) so we need to focus on the key positions there. It seems like Johnny Evans is back on the radar as the 'ready to play' CB, which means we will have an amount of cash to spend on either a back up AM or striker. Carlos Bacca will be too expensive although he is being touted to us, so it's wait and see what RM can materialise.
To be honest I had lost hope in him after last season, but here's hoping! COYB.
Ps - why is Kanye West on Glastonbury? Noel was right all along....
