Confirmed Signing Tim Iroegbunam

[Exeter_Gently]

This seems a weird signing for ten million.

How so mate?

Your name is too long
Your name is too looonnnng
Well just call you Tim
Cause your name is too long.

But if we are signing him before 30th June, someone must be off. As Onana is with Belgium, probably means its Branthwaite.

Don't think players being at the Euros really hinders anything. They'll be able to do their medicals in Germany, but even if they needed to do one in the UK they could be there and back within half a day.

Very contrasting first and second names.

First!

When I first saw I thought, can’t be true Dyche tends to not buy abroad or fancy names.

Then I saw his was English and named Timothy.

Player analysis please @Nymzee.

Remember it will be UP to ten million. Adds on will be included in that.

Dread to think how badly the Da's are going to get his name

Why would someone be off?

£10m PSR impact spread over a number of years from 2024/25 onwards.

Makes no difference to the current year (2023/24).

Bit of an Onana about him. Not sure that's a good thing but if we can get £30m at the end of the season it's all good

Think teams have said no transfer business while on duty. Not sure how strict they will be though.

They're still trying to spell Mirallas correctly

According to Athletic someone must be on the way out. I have no idea how it works.

These are the type of players I always hope for, fairly unknown talents rather than say Ashley Young on a free.

I understand the scope for either direction is higher with unknowns! But people automatically think its a genius move because they are unknown they tend to think 'they can be great'. The reality tends to be they are unknown for a reason!
Were with Ashley Young, you know exactly what you will get

and Deulofeu

From the youtube compilation I've just watched he basically looks like he's going to be replacing Onana. Looks lanky, breaks up play with his tackles and likes driving with the ball.

Have to say I don't mind that at all. Go in with Gueye as the starter beside Garner and ease this lad into first team football, hopefully to be ready for the year after when Gueye leaves. Could turn out to be smart business.

I'd prefer to improve our starting position and try and cement our Premier League status as quick as possible!
