Being reported in Spanish press that Pablo Fornals has already signed/ / nearly signed.
If, and its a *big* if, this is true - this is a massive statement of intent. The lad was valued at 27.5m by transfermarkt only 6 months ago and is quite highly rated within Spain for what is a bit of a naff Villarreal team.
Even if we were to get him for 30m it is actually a bit of a coup.

Glen, as I said before in a previous post we had a possibility of a heads start as Pellegrini and Husillos knew him from their Malaga days, so very believable and hopefully true👍.

Cheers Chelms. Do you actually live in chelmsford by the way? Am up towards the Walthams, drink in the Compasses at Littley Green ;-)
Must say, it is a lot quieter with Husillos at the helm, annoying for a rumours site but good for getting a decent deal I think.

Glen1540, yes mate I do, am in the Gt Baddow/ Galleywood area, you are further out than me, moved here in 2007 from Dagenham👍 Nice places around there although we eat out mainly around our area, but looked up the Compasses and gets a very good rating for food👍Prefer to hear when we get our business completed rather than let other clubs know who we are after, then starts an auction!

Let’s hope he doesn’t turn out to be Payet Mk 2. We already have Arnautovic with a questionable attitude, so don’t need more.

NH19, we seem to have had bought several players with very questionable attitudes in the past, so tends to make us wary of some new signings, it obviously happens elsewhere, but we aren’t interested in them😂Arnie, should have been sold in the January window for £30m straight away to China, he still does very little in a whole game! We need another front man that roughs the opposition up and can score goals, so it’s up to whose is available and wants to come to us, I would prefer an already established Premiership player personally or at least home grown if possible👍⚒⚒⚒.
