blunther Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 We're all talking as if it's a done deal... is there any confirmation yet? I don't trust paper bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its being reported that he's already flying out to the USA to join up with our squad so safe enough it's a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chap of Steel Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 John Percy is usually very reliable, also BBC Sport are saying it's practically done too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Heaton was simultaneously at the Belfry and in Portugal I'm not trusting enough to believe he's on the plane just yet! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, BBC Sport saying it's happening means it's happening. But, sure, nothing official yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Very unexpected but exciting move if and when confirmed. looking at his style of play he will be the near perfect axis for Grealish and McGinn to work off. also, a shrewd move in giving Wesley a compatriot to assist with initial communication (and also understand Engels knows Wesley from Belgium too!) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut up with the "oh we might lose him" nonsense, yiz sound like a bunch of heartbroken teenage girls. Getting him is great news. You sound like my mom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he's shite, they will buy him anyway to turn a profit. Thought we had moved away from this short term thinking. I’d be ecstatic with a whole squad of “ glorified loans” if it meant Pep/Man City rated our players so highly that they all ended up there !

It's hugely important. this. one step at a time. will Luiz make us stronger in a position that needs filling is the question we should be asking ourselves. Looking at the evidence it would suggest that he will and that is the bottomline for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Seems to have great balance on the ball, bull strong and can pass off both feet. Conor did great for us in the championship but he has flaws and would be ruthlessly exposed at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
