Surprised that the contract is just four years?

Clinical finisher, and in some ways better than Kane, but the league that he played in isn't as tough. That said when you look at how Vardy has adapted to the PL (among others) i think that Mitchell has uncovered a real gem who will fit straight into Poch's system. I also think that he will start more than some people may think he will.

It's 4 + 2 optional I think

Up and coming young, hungry, Dutch number one striker for £18M.

Carlos Bacca £26M.

Reaping in the benefits of having such a good scouting network
Yep, your scouting network has to be pretty shit if it doesn't spot the top scorer in the Dutch league

Where did I say that? Did you even read my other posts? o_O

Yes, I read them. You said we should have negotiated harder. Which, considering we have the hardest haggler in the business makes it seem like you don't know what you are talking about.

Maybe you can explain what you were saying. It seemed like condescending guff about simple maths - we have a finite budget and we've spent some, why didn't we spend less... or am i missing something?

We seem to put a lot of emphasis on the 'human profile' (Poch's words, not mine) of players now, which can only be a good thing.

Under Poch, we're guaranteed to have a group of fighters. Love that.

I much prefer our signings to be human. Good move.

Had a feeling that'd be said :p

I know he's not exactly a hidden gem but the point is we're not overpaying for an older striker like many seem to be

Plugging the two gaping holes in our squad with Janssen and Wanyama for under £30m in today's market is incredible work. If we can add another player to help break down the bus parkers like a Gotze or similar that will be a hell of a window.

Then it's down to player retention and getting the likes of Bentaleb (and Mason if he stays) back on track to help out the midfield. Hopefully get more out of Son too.

It's weird being in a position when @JJetset saying 2 maybe 3 incomings and there's not massive uproar to that not being enough, but that's what a good season and stability can do. Obviously I hope and assume the 1 more in only applies to first team ready buys (would quite like us to look for a young GK for example).

Oh my...

Absolutely agree. Fist season for many many years I can remember us not needing something or lacking somewhere and the fact its all sorted in July is a bonus!

Holy shit! What exactly are you guys playing at?

Well we are paying for potential. Bacca has scored alot of goals in Spain and Italy. And on the international stage. We can only tell when they play can't we
