lundstram going out on loan to a championship team soon i think.
Effectively it's a free transfer without a signing on fee or pay rise by the sound of it. I'm kind of surprised that we wanted to take on such heavy wages. Over £96k per week.

Another way of looking at this transfer if the fee bothers you:
Think of it as a swap with Rodwell. Similar fees, ages and potential but his hamstrings aren't made of elastic bands.
didn't mention his name, but I was thinking about him when I posted that. Don't see him breaking into the first team this season, but Lundstram will definitely contribute to our first team in the years to come. Hats off to our academy!![]()
Think he, Duffy and possibly Stones need to go on loan till Jan now....
Really need Lundstram and Stones breaking through by the end of the season to move out a couple of oldies.
Lundstram, Barkley, McCarthy could be an extremely strong central midfield for over a decade if things click into place...
We NEED Lundstram to kick on this season, as next year with players getting older (Osman) and loans finishing we will be short
Yeah, except Barkley will play for Utd by the time 2016-17 kicks off.
good post. Think he will do wellI'm really happy we finally signed McCarthy, a really, really good player, I think people also forget that he's only 22 too. Should be able to slot in really easy, he knows Martinez well, apparently him and Coleman are really good mates, he would have played with Gibson and would obviously know Robles, Kone, Alcarez and a lot of the backround staff too so he shouldn't have any issues settling in. I know people say the fee is to much yet most people were willing to spend the money on Fernando, a player from the Portugese league with no international experience who most of us haven't even seen play before yet spending the money on a younger proven premier league player who we know works well with our manager and his tactics is over spending.
