I have banged on about "our Moutinho" all summer and looks like the guy would be it.

Regular starter at CM at a club consitently in the Champions League in a top 5 league in the world. Will have seen and done it all.
Age is a slight concern but he fits really nicely into the way we play.
Having watched Atalanta a few times I don't think his physicality will be an issue. They are such a high energy side.

Also shows how spoilt we have become that somebody that has recently turned 30 is deemed as a concern age wise!

His energy is great and he naturally tucks into the LWB role if the LWB has gone mauarading.

I do find it hard to shake the mentality of viewing every player through a potential resale lense, but we absolutely are at the point where a smattering of experience and quality will benefit us more.

It's like we are all 11 again and consider 30 to be bloody ancient and one step away from death.
This.

I have (somehow) survived to be 53, and I consider someone who is 30 to be practically a teenager.

Grabban wasn't offered a new contract. He was ushered off into the ether because he reached his Lastday in a Logan's Run scenario.

Paul Taylor only just reporting that we're interested in him.

I feel a bit sorry for the bloke- does he have any contacts whatsoever? Just seems to repeat other journos info several hours/days later.

The Athletic guys are normally good for confirming stuff IMO. They will sometimes break stuff but it is more about clarification with those guys & Percy for me. There is lots of rubbish transfer wise now we are shopping in a bigger pond.

Vast majority of journos are half-guessing most of the time I reckon.

Clubs and players just use the media for their own ends and only tell them what they want them to. Must be a nightmare trying to make your way in the profession.

I am surprised they would let him go on a deal like that to be honest.

If it's true we would have done very well.

Loan and obligation to buy is perfect.

If we stay up, and want to keep him, it's a good deal.
If we stay up, and we don't want to keep him well it's £10m but we got £120m for staying up, which he helped towards.
If we go down, he costs us nothing.

Atalanta were the team with the most loanees out last season (over 40). That a significant revenue stream up the shitter.
