    Hopefully, this is the beginning of a true rebuild for optimistic success in Europe.
    Also, Engels must be worth the true value of the entire Hun first eleven ?

    Incredible signing.

    Hugely talented and versatile, high work rate, good set pieces and still only 20 years old. Great pedigree coming through Club Brugge's Club NXT, produced some great talent over the last few years.

    €13m may sound steep, but it represents a step up in our 'transfer model'. Buying, developing and selling for profit. About time we stopped trying to hit a 1 in 20 chance on a £1.5m signing to sell them for big bucks - buy known talent, even at a higher price and sell them for record prices. Keeps within our 'transfer model' but allows us to still progress and bring in better talent.

    £11m isn't really that expensive in modern terms for what you're getting. Paying for a lot of potential but a player who can perform for us instantly too.

    Funny thing is a lot of his clips are at RB. Seems to be just as good there.

    Sounds awesome, really like the versatility of him, what an asset that will be. And finally, maybe someone that can deliver a quality set piece.

    I always prefer to be optimistic.Brendan's recent interview indicates to me that he's made it clear that we need to see some more ambition for Europe and to invest in more quality. We should be seeing a progression over decades and should expect to spend more on quality players. * knows what the actual business plan is, but we need to see progress in line with everything that we have in our favour and all the money being generated.

    Haven't felt this buzzing to see a new signing as this. If he makes a good start the fans will love him. I loved MOR to bits but after all is said and done I think our midfield is improved. Just want to see him in action, Sunday. Cant wait.

    I'd * a brick if he does a Barry Robson. I expect a clean, efficient German/Belgium style player who can do anything.
    Prepare for a wonderful weekend mate. I'm getting the home shirt in xl (fatbastard) ready for Sunday funday!
