€17 million on a virtually unknown is a lot for this league or evn the premiership at the moment

I hope he is worth it

I'm still hoping Traore is...I think we should be looking at more proven players to strengthen the remaining weak areas of the team i.e right back before a luxury signing but Tony's got it covered, right ?

I worry about the amount of cash that we are splashing about, hopefully we won't get in the same mess as under Lerner, where we are losing £50 million + per season

Agree. I can't understand why people are worried at our spending. For 5 years people have moaned at austerity - and look where we ended up. I'm all for signing players to reverse the mess created by Lerner and his cronies.

I think the players all look great value and seems to be players who all their clubs fans are gutted they have left.

Would have no problem at all with this type of deal.

In the current game, if you wait another year or two until he is a bit older and more well known, the price suddenly jumps to £30 million.

I do have some doubts about Di Matteo as a manager, but I have few doubts that he knows his own league. If he thinks he's worth it (and Juve and Napoli seem to agree) he must have seen something in him.

All that said, I have never been aware of the Daily Star breaking a major transfer before, so I am 99.9% certain they are minesweeping Twitter to fill space.

If we wait another year or two we might not be able to get him as EU players may need a work permit.

Strip all the assets and adopt a sell to buy policy.. again.  ::)

What's all the fuss about. The man pledged 30 - 40m in transfer funds when he got here. If it all goes pear-shaped and he digs his head into the sand like his predecessor than we can dust off our pitchforks. Enjoy the new signings while we can.

:) if you can - or anyone who think we are spending too much (Who would have thought that).

There is no such thing as sure success, except that if you do not work for it, you will definitely not have success (Lerner)
