What was the pre-agreed fee, £5m or so? Well done Morgan, finally got a run of games and has done well.

Im sure ut was 4m euros which i think  we paid 15m for which is a 10m loss.

We've made a profit on him as far as PSR is concerned.

£14m, 4.5 year contract and a year to run.

Gonna down as one of our flops unfortunately. Cabt get them all right. Something definitely wasnt right as so mamy managers overlooked him.

Disagree, Emery rated him and was prepared to give him an opportunity once he lost the rustiness. Sanson said he had already been broken by Gerrard and needed a fresh start.

There was definitely a player in there, problem was we couldn't find the key.

He turns 30 in August and probably only has value in France.

We paid £14m for him on a four and a half year deal that has 12 months to run, so he's in our books at  a written down value of c.£3.1m (€3.6m).

The transfer fee obligation is being quoted as €4m, so we'll b make  roughly €500k (£435k) as regards PSR/FFP.. But every little helps.

He was Doug's replacement, but Doug didn't leave.

He'd do for a year or two if his fee was reasonable enough. His overall goalscoring record is very good, certainly in Europe it is.

He'll be at Forest next season surely.

Very good shout.

So will their manager at some point

Told a mate who's a Man Utd fan that he would do a good job for them. He's too good for the Greek League that's for sure.

Man U fans should already be aware of him, his Sevilla team beat Man U 5-2 on aggregate in last seasons Europa League quarter final before going on to win the cup.

Seems we are now back in the territory of a player does well against us so we must buy him. Must have a El Khaabi the new Mustapha Hadji?

Yes it’s similar to buying players who have a good World Cup - they might well be good, but you need a much broader scouting profile.

It did get mentioned. Sevilla were looking in trouble in the league until he came in and got them going as well.

Between Cash, Carlos and one of Digne I'd expect around 60-75 mil coming in which covers plenty of frugal signings.
Really?! I can't see us garnering anything like that for those three; particularly not in these PSR times.

I think the reason we bought him too was he was offered us at a cheaper price of his true value so too good to turn down.

The good news is we can sell the other Digne, if we still need the money.

Could we sell half of one, and half of the other?

Archie Gray from Leeds wouldn't be a bad shout as a target for the summer.

Young, CDM who can play CM & RB, is tall, physical, good on the ball, hard worker & has a lot of both ability for the now & potential for the future...
