Origi is done I think. Not sure about AO but that seemed to be wrapped up earlier so unless contingent in Brennan and the fax machine got tangled uo after Sangare....
I don’t really know what an Origi is for. I thought it was a striker, but it doesn’t seem to score goals. We were short on Taiwo backup even before we sold our only other goalscorer.. so we probably should have someone else who knows how to play there.
And we officially have an Omo. Beeb says £11m, so looks like it’s a deal loaded with add-ons. I guess that’s two ‘prospects’ signed at CB.. let’s see how they do. Kinda sad if McKenna hasn’t got himself a move.. he’s probably just dropped two places in the pecking order and I really like the guy and think he should be playing football.
This time two years ago we were bottom of the Championship with 1 point after 5 games, and we were starting Alex Mighten, Jordan Gabriel and Lyle Taylor. Now we're signing top players from AC Milan, Chelsea, PSV Eindhoven, Benfica and Corinthians. It's mad how quickly this has happened.
Also, both Premier League summer windows we've signed a lot of players, but there has been a swing for the fences signing that we've really wanted and both times we've got him. People laughed at the MGW price and it didn't take long for them to realise that we'd got a steal, this time round the primary attitude appears to be surprise that we've been able to get our guy at all.
I am pretty sad about Brennan, but this window still feels like a huge win.
