Not to sound ungrateful but 4 years for someone who to me looks to be on the decline already is a hell of a long time.

Length of contract affects amortization iirc so a longer contract helps us short term with FFP

Carbone was a great player but he wanted a ridiculous amount of money to sign for us. 

Shame he wasn't a bit more realistic in his wage negotiations. 

I remember his Debut against Spurs and the FA Cup win against Leeds but apart from that i seem to recall him going missing in a lot of games

High profile signing. Oh how things have changed for us. I am still worried about whether we can keep Buendia happy, but signing Coutinho for that money is great business.

That should bring a few other top players in, hopefully, and keep us in an upward trajectory.

Hopefully now he is here permanently we can use him more effectively rather than him starting every game.

Great move though - no doubt about that.

Still worried Newcastle will sign him.

Sources tell me that Spurs also have agreed to sign him for £17m on a 4 year contract, if they fancy it. We’re just keeping him warm for them!

In all seriousness though… wow! Delighted! So pleased to have him permanently now. My 6 year old also delighted as he’s filled the idol void that was vacated in the summer!

I was talking about Carbone
