If we got him for like, 10-15m you'd be made up.

If you'd paid 30m for him it's frightful. He's just alright, and 26.

Wouldn't pay that much but he'd be a good permanent addition for the right price.
Definitely would like to keep him, but not at that price.

Would prefer to buy a younger model but if we drop £10-15m on him then I wouldn’t complain.

Really compliments the hustle and bustle of Gana and docoure well with how calm he is on the ball.

He has brought so much balance to the midfield.

Definitely worth pursuing a permanent deal at the right price.

Coming into his prime at 27 next year but I would say £20m max. The €35/40m price tag that I have seen bandied around is a bit rich.

Mad that he was dropped a couple of times this season.

Strikes it so cleanly.

Harrison should watch him in training.

Yeah, wouldn't drop the €40M reported fee on him, but if there was room for negotiation, then definitely.

As much as I like him, unless it's a bargain I wouldn't spend our money on him, for us to be with a 30+ year old midfielder when the contract nears to an end.

Spend on younger players with potential. Unless it's a bargain. We can't afford to spend big.

100% agree cant be spending money because a player does well alongside a 35 and a soon to be 32 year old.

Ideally if we did sign him, he would be playing with 2 new mids next year too.

If both Gana and Doucoure leave in the summer we could do with an experienced head in there so I'd be happy to sign him should the deal be reasonable. Just depends on how much he'd cost and how much we have to spend really.

Gutted for him, and for us
