If the particulars of the deal are anywhere near what i have read. 16M loan one year and 80M to buy him after that, i would drive him to Germany myself and not look back. No matter the injuries.
Than I would scoop Strand-Larsen or Wissa if necessary to fill the gap until Delap returns.
The best loan deal I've seen in football since I started watching and best deal for us for someone like Jackson. I thought the same thing when I woke up this morning about Wissa - a season loan with salary covered to rescue him from Brentford.
We don't learn from our mistakes; same way we missed out on £60m Bayern offer for Odoi and sold him for less than €20m 2 years after.
Now not bidding for Simon was stupid.
