    Probably not wanting to pay up front or at least until Eddy is sold.

    Looks like this is our guy.

    He looks good but if its 12 months it leaves us in the same position a year down the line, looking for another RB. I just find it hilarious that its taken 8 months to find even one RB and it is going to be a loan deal from Man City. Thats pish and its nothing to do with whether I like loans or not. I actually dont mind them.

    Why has this taken so long to get to this stage? Rumours this guy needs convincing to come here, is that the kind we want?

    Bit annoyed at this one tbh. Juranovic looks perfect.

    This is what doesn't make sense for me, we are just kicking the problem down the road and we will be in the exact same position in 11 months time. Also if he is taking his time to make his mind up is that the type of player we want to begin with?

    I wonder if the fee for Juranovic was much higher than reported? I mean, a croatian international who was, by all accounts, excellent for Legia last year and had a multi year contract, available for £3 million? Seemed to good to be true.

    I think that could be a positive, having 11 months to source a full time right back.

    I think Couto will be good for us but defensively is he at Juranovic's level? I doubt it..

    Also no experienced in European competition. Juranovic is well rounded and has played a lot of European football at a good level..

    Couto I think will deffo excite us and be in the mould of a Frimpong type, looks better technically infact..

    2 year would be a lot better to take. He has been linked from early on as well but it went cold..

    If all else fails get big Peter on the blower and get him to go through his contacts book.

    That's very true. Having said that we did have 8 months to find a RB to begin with.

    Big thing with Juranovic is his delivery. It looks absolutely bang on 9 times out of 10 which as we all know, is so difficult to find, so when you do, its worth the money. Even takes free kicks.

    I think even if they were asking for a bit more, we will regret this. Unless it was astronomical (in our league) money like £10m +.

    I think you overestimate our forward planning.. we had 8 months to source a proper Frimpong replacement and we're ending up with a City loan.

    It could actually leave us in a worse position. Ralston's contract will also be up, so potentially we could have no RBs at all at the club by the end of the season, and with our record for recruitment it would be touch or go as to whether one would be brought in before qualifiers, if there is any.

    It may take this window and January to sort out our defence long term (Even though we've had to fix the defence for years) Getting a years loan wouldn't be the worst in the meantime.

    Then we should still pay. Ange should have the right to demand that the piggy bank be busted.

    Even if it was 5 mill, that's a bargain in the current climate for a player like him..

    That other tweet is saying we'll find out in 24 hour's, although I don't really buy that account..

    Dreamland Im afraid. We will never pay £10m for a RB from the Polish league.

    Genuinely if we are going to be hindering the progress of our own RB who has been taking giant strides with an inexperienced 19y/o who has less than a seasons worth of football to his name and who has been sent here to make his mistakes then I'm lost.

    We've been bitten with this so many times.

    Whoever we brought in had to be a decently experienced first team regular and hopefully better than what we had.
