Andy Brassel, didn't realise he worked for Talksport. Use to love listening to him on the 5live World Football Phone-In.

Hahaha wow £15m is unreal

I am old and sceptical, I see £15m and think why is no one else trying to get him at that price? What's wrong with him? What do 'they' know that we don't? :(

Only had year left on his contract and we’ve been aggressively after him for a long time, so fee was agreed a while ago.
 

I think having his mates of Fofana and potentially Edouard plus our history of developing talent but then not blocking them moving to a “big club” when the time is right has helped as well. We’re an attractive place to come and play

As with nearly all our transfers its the other way round.  Its what we know that they don't.

How do you know others haven't/aren't trying to get him at that price?

Bit of a simplistic way off looking at it. 

 

He has one year on his deal so will be available to sign for free in 8 months (Jan). 

 

We have been tracking him for years/months, agreed personal terms with him. We are are top destination for young players with the training ground, manager and proven track record of improving young players and getting them big moves. So there probably was lots of clubs in for him and he chose us. Once he's chosen us. The 15 million represents the fact that he has one year left and therefore we have to pay the player and his agent a bit more dough too as the power is in his hands not the clubm

We got Ngolo Kante for peanuts. He kept stalling the deal because he was hoping to go elsewhere. Other clubs either didn't think he was worth the £8m odd we paid or wasn't worth bidding on at all. 

 

Turns out he was the best defensive midfielder in the world. Not even after a lot of development here, straight away.

getting them big moves

What's a big move? We should not think of ourselves as a feeder club for anybody anymore and certainly not to any other premiership club.

This guy is another dollop of mustard. You’ll hear Neville next season wondering why Man Utd weren’t in for him - a little like pundits trying to sell Fofana to their preferred Big Sux club. 
 

Honestly, we would have a huge potential talent on our hands here. Would/will be an excellent signing.

Chillwell to Chelsea for 190k a week Maguire to man United on 200k a week. 

 

It doesn't matter how we think of ourselves mate we operate on a much lower financial level to these boys and agents and players will see it that way and the end game will always be to get themselves a move like Chillwell and Maguire and it helps our offer to young players that we have proven success in that regard.

If we think that way then we will remain a second tier club. We have to be more ambitious . We buy players to help us long term . Tielemans , Ndidi , Soyuncu are core players for our future success and should be going nowhere. I have mentioned before, Kanté, McGuire, Mahrez and Chilwell all had other reasons for their moves above money and anyway that is in the past.

My only issue is he scores no goals so how do we make up the difference?

Example: Ndidi. 

 

So Horses for courses.
