Yep, full on 'here we go' so sounds like it's done.

Fun, absolutely no idea how good he is, I'm hoping very.

He has potential, I think that's the key.

If this ends up happening, I think it all depends on how much he is costing as to whether I think this is a good deal or not.

Anything around £8M-£10M will be reasonable.

His height will be welcome. I think he is about 6'3".

His pace & direct running will offer cover & competition for Ramsey.

If Emery sees him being able to cover Watkins, then that could be an interesting project.

I hope that he comes in like a hurricane, makes me eat my words & becomes the player that everyone thought he could be at the age of 17-18 years old.

The height of him, Kellyman & Zaniolo could be interesting late in a game too, if we are chasing...

OK.

I'm very sceptical, but people are paid a lot of money to make these decisions and I wish him all the very best.

Looking forward to Utis video and hopefully we can have some thunderbastards in this one.

Glad Monchi could get this over the line.. I assume Rogers had to plead with Boro to get it done, because our business isn't usually out in the public for this long. Percy saying its 10m up front, 5m in add-ons; still seems like a low cost/potentially high reward purchase in today's day and age of 100m average footballers.

Hopefully he can take up the left hand side or the hole behind Watkins that Diaby can't seem to figure out.

Up until we showed an interest in Roger’s I’d never heard of him. I have absolutely no idea if he’s got the potential to become a first team regular but it sounds like he’s about to join the best club in the world so good luck to him.

Not sold personally, but in Unai we trust. Seems like a ready made backup for Ollie, which makes total sense tbh.

No idea at all on him, as Boro fans don't seem to rate him that highly will we see him going straight back out on loan?

Can’t see anyway he’s going out on loan.

Hopefully better than Jordan Bowery.

Good news. Obviously he has a lot to learn, but at 21 and 6'4" he should prove a great acquisition. I just hope our fans give him time to settle into the Premier League. Another plus, he's a local lad born in Halesowen, so he'll be well familiar with the area.

Hope they’ve spotted the right attributes in him and he can fulfil the potential associated to that. I’m in no way qualified to give an assessment of him, so hopefully he’s good!
