Never quite sure whether that means:

1. transfer fee is £2.5m and add-ons on top (if met), or
2. Transfer fee and add-ons total £2.5m (i.e £1.5m transfer fee and £1m of add-ons)

l’equippe the source of this tend to quote example 2

If it says upto I assume that's the total value that the transfer may reach if all clauses are met?

True. The defence of last season plus the midfield plus a 20 goal man instead of one of the two 10(ish) goal strikers would net us roughly an extra 10.

Which would give us +12 and yeh probably we'd have been up in 7th/6th with that.

Laat season was an insanely strong top 4 too so maybe higher in that scenario this time.

Leeds, Leicester, Southampton- has there been a stronger and bigger set of clubs for the level relegated at the same time in the era of FFP and Parachute Payments? I doubt it.

Ipswich a one in 20 season pulled out.

Conway maybe odd so we could need another striker but yes that is true.

I know Cornick isn't terribly appreciated on here but could be provide some donkey work if we are going 3-5-2 for periods of the season. The support striker or something.

If we're going 3-5-2 then I'd be really pissed off that we wasted the last year alternating between Nakhi and Tommy rather than with them playing together. Would quite possibly have seen TC sign that contract as well, so potentially cost the club millions.

I would also hope that one of the 500 attackers we bring in would be able to function better in a 2 than HC. 

Would never question his efforts on the pitch but his ability is so far off the pace it's unreal. Because of his work ethic though, when he does go it'll be worth my best wishes rather than a good riddance.

Left & right foot, it doesn’t matter as he certainly likes smashing them in. Also very good in the air 

Looks a good all round finisher with a good physique and runs well with the ball at his feet 

If we got him for around £2.5m then he looks good value 

Reminds me very much of Ollie Watkins and he hasn’t done too bad

I agree for the most part albeit he hit double figures at Luton in a Championship season in and around that particular shape, so I wonder.

I know you were based further south when you were in France (Carcassonne, if I recall correctly), but if you have ever visited the Parisian banlieues (suburbs) and witnessed the sheer number of (mainly black) kids playing football in those steel cages, sometimes as late as midnight, you would not be at all surprised at the number of top class footballers from the impoverished areas who turn in to professional players.

Le Blanc Mesnil, incidentally, has produced quite a few.

Oh, and not particularly relevant to football or our potential new signing, but I am sure many on here have seen shots of Americans, again mainly black, playing basketball in similar cages.

We have one near to where we live currently, and I sometimes stop to watch them - they are mainly young teenagers, but phenomenal.

Incredible, no nothing like that in Carcassonne. We did have areas where north Africans lived and they'd be all night beeping their horns if say Algeria qualified for the WC finals but you'd rarely see anyone playing.

[RollsRoyce]

Good luck to Fally. I hope he settles well and quickly and continues his development. He has an interesting skill set, though far from the finished player, but from all that has been written, he has some potential to progress and is different to any player in the squad. It will be great to see him play in person and to understand what position and role he is going to play up front. He will be an aerial threat of course, but his game looks to be more than that. Allez Fally .

It’s the same here (cars blowing their horns every Friday to celebrate weddings).

We often hear talk of English footballers years ago playing in the streets until late at night, or Brazilian kids practicing their skills on the beach, but these kids playing in the cages are something else.

I often have to visit these areas for professional reasons, and stand out like a sore thumb dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase, but apart from sometimes being mistaken for a scout, once these kids realise I am simply admiring their skills and tenacity, they are as good as gold.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that Jadon Sancho used to play in a cage when he was a young boy, hence his close space skills.

Looks like he could be a talent. The problem with these signings is the player is usually judged on the opposition, and numbers. 

It’s the type of signing that enables us to get more out of the players we already have. 

You can get so much out of YouTube clips if you watch the player and not just the goals.

In fairness from the stuff I’ve watched of Mayulu in the past 24 hours versus the stuff I watched of Mebude (at Westerlo not the Man City stuff), there is no comparison.  This is a player with some ability.  I do think he’ll have to develop his back-to-goal play, you can’t always lay it off first time, sometimes you’re gonna have to hold onto it against a hairy-arsed championship CB whilst you wait for runners / movement.  As well as his physicality, but he’s 22 next month, and being 6’4”, he will still be growing that side of his game / physique.  I was watching another striker a couple of days ago who I thought might be a target (before Mayulu’s name came up) and he had that ability to back into his CB or come short, and was very precise / clean with his link-up.

I think the fee looks reasonable.  Total £2.5m is better that the initial €3.5m where I expected add-one on top.  Someone I know said he’s not a £3m striker…yet, so if we’ve got him for something like £1.5m + add-ons, that’s sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Also Austrian Bundesliga is slightly different to Championship.  Unsurprisingly, the helterskelter of heavy pressing has influenced that the game is played quicker, less possession phases.  An average Bundesliga side would be considered fast and direct in the Champ.  An average Bundesliga side would be the top-3 pressing teams in the Champ.

So he ought to be able to handle the speed, but the physicality is a different beast and that might need time.

Looking at the stuff you posted as well as the YouTube videos, he looks "solid" as well as tall which gives me hope that he can hold his own.

But he looks "lithe" with it, I wouldn't mind betting he's played a bit of street basketball, he looks like he has good control and coordination like the tall men in that game.

Surely Dave, everybody knows that most modern young men in sport are heavily into 'male grooming', so there probably won't be many of the individuals you describe currently involved in sporting activity. You only have to witness the amount of adverts claiming 'the best a man can get'.

I know absolutely nothing about the standard of the Austrian Bundesliga but just looked at the past 10 years or so of transfers in the division and million plus deals are generally always either between the largest clubs in the league or overseas into the top flight in France, Germany or Italy. The most recent comparable deal was Nicolas Kuhn in January from Rapid Vienna to Celtic for £3m.

Transfers from the Austrian Bundesliga to England in the last 10 years seem to be massively feast or famine, hit or miss:

• Max Wober - Premier League - Leeds - international, played last season on loan in German top flight
• Brenden Aaronson - Premier League - Leeds - international, played last season on loan in German top flight
• Patson Daka - Premier League - Leicester - international, 7 goals in the Championship last season
• Dominik Frieser - Championship - Barnsley - high energy 42 games as Barnsley finished 5th in the play offs
• Christoph Knasmüllner - Championship - Barnsley - played just 3 games and released after 5 months (#1/2)
• Olarenwaju Kayode - Premier League- Man City - never played, loaned out multiple times, largely unsuccessful
• Sadio Mane - Premier League - Southampton - enough said
• Guido Burgstaller - Championship - Cardiff - played just 3 games and released after 5 months (#2/2)
• Atdhe Nuhiu - Championship - Sheff Wed - seven years, 250 games, 50 goals and became international

Bought Andreas Cornelius for £8m, sold him for £500k five months later.
