So, what do we all think?
Personally, Im stuck in 2 minds. On the one hand, I have read that a lot of people don't think he is worth £13 million. On the other, these doubters probably think like me, hoping that we buy some continental whizz kid with a name as long as the list of women he has slept with.
Another Wigan player, people have moaned. I guess we know he will fit the system. Having said that, that is the very system that failed last year. I am so confused.
Has anyone ever actually watched the guy play?
What is he good at and what will he add?

You were saved by your speed of typing compared to me
Still fear he was over priced by about 5m, but we covered it in the fellaini sale so its not so bad.

Idk I think 10m was fair price for him, so 3m maybe, but I think he will have a solid career, nothing special. But a solid and reliable player none the less and he will probably become a vital cog in the team. At 22 could have 13 years at the club, 1m a year .
He will possibly play DM also as he has the work rate and gets stuck in so I don't think it will affect Ross's playing time at all.
----Barkley---------McCarthy
Delofeu-------------------Mirallas
--------------Lukaku
That is a great young line up imo and if its the type of team Roberto aims to build you should be more then happy.

btw how on earth did you get 6m for Anichibe, mind you I suppose we got similar for David Ngog

Perhaps he will one day take Callum McManaman back to Everton too he looks promising.

McCarthy is a poor mans Henderson.. fitting then that he's gone to Everton.
I'm sure Martinez had Figueroa lined up to replace Baines.

McCarthy was the one player I wanted Martinez to bring with him. Personally never really rated Kone ( hope to be proven wrong) Alcarez haven't seen enough of him to really gage an opinion same as the keeper

Lukaku will be number one for now, but Kone and Jela now have to battle for a place-bring it on!
Barkley and Delofou should be brought along-consistency is difficult at a young age (Barkley was great at Norwich, tbf average v WBA, and good at Cardiff). Peanut and Osman are still there (although am starting to worry about Osman). Gibson fit and Barry wanting to play-looking good. Bring it on! COYB!

I would personally have gone with. Henderson being a poor man's Osman.
