Superb signing. A player of genuine top tier quality, I thought he looked a real live wire at the world cup and a better player than the one who left us, who will have better players around him this time. Germany v Paraguay probably wasn't a dissimilar match up to a number of games we'll face this season, its good to have players with that muscle memory and experience of not being in dominant sides against world class opposition. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I know there has likely been some manipulation between the two fees we've paid to Strasbourg but €30m is a good fee in my books too for a genuine PL quality match winner. I thought he looked our best player by quite a distance at the back end of 24/25. And as you say, he's improved since then. [Post edited 17 Aug 15:28]

He’s Magic you know……. Julio Enciso. Great signing COYB |  |

| Enciso confirmed! on 15:36 - Aug 17 with 1391 views | SomethingBlue | As long as we keep him fit this is an absolutely insane signing, the guy has the star quality of a top-half player and is only going to improve. Great that we got it done. |  |

How many more do you think we'd like in SB? 3-4? |  | |  |

I don;t know enough about him to be excited - though i hope the price indicates that he;s actually now a proper Prem quality footballer. But if you're excited Joe then that's good enough for me. But what is it that excites you? My memory from before was a ball hogger who just wanted to shoot - even if a team mate was in a better place. What's different now? (And please no one take this as a critical post - it isn't meant that way, but a genuine request about a player I only know from 2 years ago) |  |

I'd say so. Slightly depends on what they have in mind for Ouattara I guess. An experienced striker the obvious priority and I expect we will have to wait til the final week even if that's frustrating. [Post edited 17 Aug 15:57]

In order of priority, I'd say: 1) Experienced Striker 2) Progressive mid 3) If Ouattara is most likely to be RB, another left-footed CB 4) Some genuine LB competition for Leif |  | |  |

Its a lot of money in real terms but such is the way now. When you see the fees being bandied about its probably not unreasonable. In GBP its said to be £25.6m incl. add ons. It's probably in the region of £20m - £22m + a few mil based on performance / survival etc which isn't a bad fee for a talented 22 year old international with close to 100 top flight appearances already under his belt. |  | |  |

Sounds about right. A bit more physicality, or at least the option of it, needed on that left side of defence I think. Progressive mid feels like the kind of thing we'd do late if the right deal came up – if nobody higher in the food chain picks him up then you'd imagine we haven't heard the last of Palacios. |  |

Fab signing, he was superb at the WC. I hope BlueCo havent got too many clauses in there. (not that we have much choice but to accept them). These big clubs have the habit of creating permanent transfers that are akin to loans once all the clauses are in. |  |

I'd love us to get Ross Barkley in on loan for the 8 role |  | |  |
| Enciso confirmed! on 16:30 - Aug 17 with 641 views | MagicMoe | I guess very few of us ever expected him back here and yet here we are, less than 2 years after we slipped out of the Prem. Exciting times! |  | |  |
