Does that mean Grimes is on his way to Craven Cottage

[We Are Premier League]

Loan and 10m option to buy doesn't sound like a super deal for us...a bit underwhelming.

[MartyFFC]

Probably shouldn't have knocked back that reported 24 million from Villarreal. Absolute garbage deal from our perspective

Rumours rumours and rumours. We don't know and probably never will know the financial details.

Too true. Won't stop folk reporting stuff as if it were fact, though.
Such is the way of the World. Continue to report garbage and it eventually becomes gold.

Sorry to see Anguissa depart.
A great disappointment to me as a player. Promised much: delivered little.
An imposing figure with flashes of great skill...but not enough to make any great impact.
I wondered if he lacks confidence.
Has become, of late, a marginal player so his departure would make sense.

We will know the financial details in amount 20 months time, we have all the records before 30th June 2020 signed by the auditor and given to the UK Government. Of course, no one cares about last season.

To the suggested 10m you can add this season's loan fee plus the cost of his wages for the next year. All adds up to a lot of money

[H4usuallysitting]

If they're paying his £60k/week salary, plus we get a couple of quid.....not a bad deal......shame it's never worked out for him here

[grandad]

Didn´t really want him to go. The figures quoted seem rather low. How much will we have to spend on replacing him with a player with his potential. Don´t think Grimes is in the same class if he should come to us.

[filham]

So, that leaves us with Onamah, Reed, Seri Carvalho and Cairney with the dodgy knee for the three critical midfield spots. Room for one more as cover, perhaps a late buy tomorrow.

William Carvalho or Grimes wouldn´t want to come just as cover.

Both I could see likely starting over Josh despite his fairly good form. Carvalho would be incredible if we manage it.

[Holders]

I can't say that I'm not disappointed but it's what's necessary to meet FFP and otherwise enhance the team, then so be it. Perhaps it opens the door for Carvalho II if what we've read is true.

I think Fulham set-up up 24 million as the option to buy price to following the loan - but Villarreal were never going to pay it:

[Statto]

There are plenty of unknowns. Even if described as an option go buy it could effectively become an obligation if certain highly likely criteria are met, eg him playing 15 games. If we didn't want a loan then quite possibly we'll have insisted on a chunky loan fee, balanced out by a lower purchase price. Etc etc

[davew]

Ridiculous transaction!!!!!! Sell him by all means but not a loan deal, how does that help us this season to replace him? Presumably that´s the end of business in this transfer window unless we decide to lend out a few more players. Not happy!

Sky saying deal is 17.3 mill

Sky saying deal is 17.3 mill

There must be a pretty good loan fee if it's only an option to buy
