    I just don't get this. If this is the case.

    Going from a player with the profile and attributes of Souza, to Mooy? That makes zero sense.

    The CL groups will be fun if Mooy is supposed to fill the CDM position.

    He's easily way down the list of targets then.

    I can only assume we've spent the budget, and we were trying for Loans/LTB'S for CDM, which hasn't worked.

    It's a bit of a red flag if the major positive of the signing is "at least its only a year"

    I'm not certain he will. Folk saying it's almost a done deal when it's really just Twitter journalists saying so. That Romano said Juranovic was off a couple weeks back.

    I doubt we were ever in for Souza. Plus we have spent £20m this summer already, I expect us to pay a fee for one more. If we sell a big player then we will likely see us pay a good chunk for a replacement. Mooy could be a cracking signing but I’m just hoping he’s good enough in the CDM position as that’s where we are very short. If McGregors out or is shifted forward then there is no one else. Bitton was decent at it but the fact he’s away then Mooy must be able to play that position or we are still on the hunt for one.

    Nah mate, I think he's signed, Juranovic report only came from Romano, this is coming from multiple sources.

    This is in no way comparable to the Juranovic stuff. Every journalist under the sun is reporting on this, and by all accounts it's happening.

    Romano tweeted that Atletico were interested in Juranovic, which they no doubt were. They just decided to sign a different right back.

    I'd be interested as to how we budgeted for Jota and CCV though.

    We've known since the minute they signed last August what the fees would be. With CL football on top and a new seasons budget, I'd still expect a couple more.

    I’m hoping we pull a CDM out the bag, we will likely be the only team in the group stages without one if not

    Everyone calm down. I doubt ange has a £6.4m budget for the season. I don’t think they would have said to him you get us into the CL and get to sign 1 player for a fee and a couple of loans. From last financial we seem to have broke even in terms of player trading.

    this financial year we have bought only jota. I would be disgusted with the board if they said here ange there is £6.4m when we will have turnover of over £100m and most likely post about a £15m profit with £15m added to cash at bank in the 2022/23 year.

    plenty time left in window. We only got jota, CCV and Giakomakis on the final day last year

    Both surprised and disappointed by this.

    You cant "build" a midfield with someone of his age. You just cant.

    He doesn't fit the profile of whats required either, whereas Souza seemed an absolute perfect fit.

    Still * baffled by this.

    Despite all of my best efforts to put my Australian bias aside, I can't help but think Mooy would make a very decent option (assuming his level hasn't dropped too much while in China).

    Cracks me up when people act like McGregor plays as an actual CDM anyway. He comes so far up the pitch, exactly where Mooy has spent a lot of the time also playing, I think he is perfect cover. If that's not enough, it's also a very safe signing - off the pitch Mooy is a super shy person who never seems to have conflict with anyone, knows exactly the sort of intensity that Ange expects, and should be relatively cheap. That said, I'm sceptical that it's happening, and I actually feel Ange has avoided signing him just because of the appearance of signing a fellow Aussie.
