I feel the same

The fact is we need a body to fit in the 3 behind Harry. He gives us much-needed pace has very good scoring record and is available for the CL.

Not my first choice but for £23m in Jan I'm happy.

He's also great in PES :)

Seriously Moura? FFS :banghead:.

I know everyone's very excited but this smacks of Sissoko Mk II. I'm massively underwhelmed at this news. Feel free to bookmark this post and rub it in my face if (as I truly hope) i'm proved wrong.

Hopefully the 'statement signing' will cheer me up :(.

I can't agree with this. Moura is a big upgrade on Sisssoko.
His decent pace and ability to past people is exactly what we need

Am I the only one underwhelmed by the possible signing of Moura? Can't even get excited watching YouTube videos. He definitely improves the squad but I'm not convinced he improves the first team. If the £22m reports are to be believed it is good business and he has a relationship with Serge and I know it's a squad game now and that's where we've been lacking but I just can't help feeling underwhelmed.

At least we'll see if the clamourings for pace for the last few windows will be appeased and if it's the answer to a "park the bus" team, I have a feeling it isn't but we will see

I have moved this in here from the Moura thread so as not to get A&C all twitchy:whistle:

No guarantee's until it's actually signed because we have been closer than this before and it's still gone tit up, but financials already moved significantly in our favour and have been pretty much agreed. Barring a last minute 3rd party coming in and throwing money at PSG(not Moura), I'd say this one will be done quite quickly now.

No, there are a couple of people in the players thread saying the same :cautious:
If MP wants him then it's all good as far as I am concerned. Obviously Poch's opinions on players don't always sync with the supporters but if Poch thinks that he can add quality to the squad then it's all good as far as I am concerned (assuming that the club sign him of course!!).

Needs to with the window closing next weds!

Good to hear though, hope it goes through. Chelsea worry me with the Willian injury and Conte bitching.

I like the player and think he'll add to the squad favourably, quick, eye for a goal and used to playing with quality players. Fallen star but lets see what Poch can do with him...

Amazing news thank you!

Hopefully for this window but could live with it being for the summer.

For who?

When all fit....

............................Hugo
Trip....Toby,....Sanchez.....Vertz....Davies
...............Wanyama...Eriksen
..Moura...............Kane..............Sonny


would be my pick if I were including Moura, although that would be harsh on Dele
I'd always make room for Dele myself, ALWAYS

4 3 3 with Eriksen Alli and Wanyama deeper. And Son and Lucas the wings. Similar to Liverpool when Coutinho played deeper for them
