Player Valuation: £35m
People say lots of things that are untrue on the internet...The reality is if they ever bothered to read the FA's rules on loan permits they would find there is little difference between that and a purchase.Just can’t see Costa happening . Does he really fit into the Brands philosophy? I read somewhere that Malcolm would have to be signed rather than loaned in as he wouldn’t get work permit also Barcelona need the money . We are getting to the stage with what less than 4 weeks to go where we are either going go for it and not pass up the opportunity that next season may present or just try loan players in etc etc . I still think come the 09/08 we will be happy with who has come in and more importantly who has gone out . I still trust Brands / Silva and Brands staff to have done there research . Let’s try keep fume just bubbling at minute ..
Remember, and its amazing how quickly people forget, 4 of our signings were on deadline day last year. The 5th was on August 1st. Zouma, Gomes, Bernard, and Mina were deadline day, and Digne was August 1st. I suspect thats because Brands knows in order to get great players at good prices you have to take things down to the wire and trust your work.
