Oh my god

I was only teasing when I said it of course.

Not that I think we will be signing anyone today. But it won't be for that reason.

Sounds like he's entering his peak, and if he reproduces his form of last season he could even exceed his goals/assists stats due to the higher calibre of player we have here, especially given the other big names we're looking to sign.

£12.5m is shrewd in this market, and whilst it should be part of his contract that he gets a proper haircut, he undoubtedly adds strength in depth, though I suspect he'll be our 1st choice LM. A less risky and far cheaper Yarmolenko really.

Also it means we never have to see McGeady again, can't wait for him to leave.

What truth?? Do you want to show us all this information you have that it's all a front and he's not putting any money forward. Didn't think so...you're just impatient

Mate, there's fiction and reality. Moshiri spending 10 % of his wealth on new players for Efc is so far just a pipe-dream substantiated by nothing.

What this guy is saying is a lot more likely since it's based on what actually seems to be going on in the real World.

Would I be the only person that thinks at £12.5m this lad would be a good signing?Bare in mind we spent £13.5m on Niasse I think this would be a good deal.

He's a good player. There weren't many better than him in his position in the league last year. He would add height to the side too.

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I'd have Mirallas and Del on the wings over Arnautovic all day.

I'm the same. I like Arnautovic but hopefully not at the expense of these two. Both are frightening when fit and in the right mind frame.

Reminds me of a Mirallas-esque player. Flashes of brilliance and knows where the goal is, but often frustrates.

We need to build a squad that can fight on several fronts - for me this would be a great signing.

Just need to sync them up then mate. One brilliant one week, the other brilliant the next.

Sadly that's our level of signing, youve just described the likes of Lamela and Mane any club outside of the top 4 will have inconsistent wide players and the bargains that arnt (Mahrez for example) doesn't stay long once the vultures circle.

Arnatovic, Deulofeu, Mirallas and Lennon are great options to have out wide Imo

At 12.5 Million he'd be a good piece of business

Again, I work with Stoke fans and they'd be gutted to see him leave, and they are a club who are essentially on par with us at the moment (Especially if last season was anything to go by)
