Good to know as we do seem to be floundering our way through this deal.

I'd like to see a desk and two old school chairs on the pitch with a pen and a contract and him sign in front of the crowd (or pretend to) like in the good old days. He must wear massive flares, a kipper toe and either a suit jacket or afghan coat.
And flanked by a couple of photocopiers

There is going to be one almighty roar if his signing is announced just before the Man Utd match. A roar which will be heard on the other side of
this great planet we all live on. We should thank Paul Lambert for having the foresight to buy Christian Benteke who in turn has paid for most of these summer signings.

Thank you Paul and thank you Tim....and Tom and Randy....and all the others who have chipped in.

Another article on Traore's strengths and weaknesses... nothing too revelatory, but confirms his promise and reinforces that he is not yet a finished product...

I think re the finished product thing, if he already were that, it'd imply he had lived up to his potential, in which case he wouldn't be coming here anyway.

God, I really hope he signs now.

I am fairly sure he must have signed if they are holding it back until tomorrow night for maximum effect Paulie. They wouldnt want Jose coming in late with a thirty million bid to sign him for their bench.

Having a player who can "lower his knees" is something to look forward to! Interesting assessment though, and it should be exciting all round, though clearly he has a lot to learn and we should judge him as a work in progress, and give him as much slack as, say, Grealish.

If he does arrive, I think this is really a salient point. My tendency would be to think that he will set the league on fire immediately, but I think I/we need to temper our expectations and allow him time to grow into the side and the style of the PL. I hope I have that sort of patience!
