Alex Teixeira

[Buzzo]

Just to clarify, he's not injured with a hamstring and we're not signing another crock, right?

Who even cares anymore? So long as we sign something.

His stats are pretty amazing, so I'm quite enthusiastic about his signing. And as was previously mentioned better signing someone who might be good (Suarez/Firmino/Coutinho) than someone we know is not (Tekkers/Carroll/Downing).

@ViktorFagerLFC 12m12 minutes ago "Seems we are paying up for Alex Teixeira. Fee won't be close to our first offer of £24.5m."

Maybe they did the maths and realised that 40k/50k a week times a 4 year deal was actually quite good value.

FFS, I find myself now constantly refreshing, just get it done so I can go to work!

The biggest indication it could be close was SkySports saying we were some distance apart.

[Lecter]

'expensive' meaning '£38m and not a penny less, Mr Ayre.'

Its actually quite cheap when you consider what we paid for Benteke

This could be a turning point, stop wasting millions on average to good Premier League players and let's spend big on quality players.

You say this however I'm not sure anyone on here mentioned him as a potential option until we were linked with him.

Now he's the second coming of Suarez (I hope he is btw!)

Argh I don't want to get excited just incase

I honestly thought he was out of our reach, something like a Chelsea player, to whom he was very much linked over the last couple of months. Well, then there is also that we have a lot of nr. 10's but he seems to be a cut above though.

Reminds me a bit about Aguero, hope he turns out similar

Thank God I've taken the day off. My refreshing thumb will be very sore (on phone) followed hopefully by my wrist(s)
