Not sure either way about Costa.

Looked a hell of a player at Wolves, was surprised they sent him out on loan. Can now see why.

Hope he improves under Bielsa, and good luck to the lad.

Harrison has improved massively under beilsa... obvious the manager sees a lot of potential in him even at a higher level

£5m, you’d say decent signing

At £15m, we’ve been absolutely ripped off

Maybe the faith shown in him for the transfer may give him a lift?


Off topic Charlton 1-0 up

Would be interested to know what we have paid and how the deal is structured

Maybe the faith shown in him for the transfer may give him a lift?

Is it faith or what we had to pay because of the deal we did last summer

Its possible that we have paid a small fee now and if we get promoted we have to pay a substantial fee, then the rest over a course of time?

Wasn't that if we got promoted though?

Doesn’t look like it was on promotion.

Ah fair enough for some reason i thought it was if we got promotion. Must have confused with the big Kev Deal.

I think he looks alright. Never does badly, buy excels when he has the space in behind to move into, which just obviously isn't the case playing for us at this level.

He has done ok. With a little more composure resulting in a few more goals we would be saying hes a been a good signing.
Needs to be a little more direct and aggressive for me.

I like him. There have been some great moments where he has brought something no one else in the team would with his pace and calm final ball. Bamford goal against Fulham an example, tore past him man. There have been a number of times when he's set up good chances that have been missed.

He needs to do more to justify his price but I think we've looked more dangerous with him especially on the counter attack this season.

gutted........there is a reason why wolves let him go

in the championship, yes, pl..........hmmmmm not for me, we got mugged again.

Not sure at all about this signing.

I hope MB loves him and sees potential.
Rather than "well, we fuqed up here
and are contractually obligated to sign him."

Let’s put it this way, we have just signed him, if we sold him now, we’d struggle to get half back.

Overpaid

maybe. but i think he'll fit well into the squad.
we'll be needing to sign at least 5 players imo and that's if were happy with our goalkeepers.

No maybe about it

If that fee isn’t set at £15m last summer

Wolves don’t get anywhere near £15m

Expected way more, especially given Bielsa is his coach. Hopefully he does a Harrison and has a much better second season.

Well, he could do with learning how to head the ball. He's also very small. And how versatile is he, really? Seems like a lot of dosh and again, he's agreed a looooong contract - surely three years is enough, given our situation at this point. I'd rather be spending big on an experienced keeper, White, and a striker that can convert.

Would have expected much more from him this season but granted I only catch the odd highlights of Leeds matches. £16m is far too high but that's the risk Leeds took, assuming you go up hopefully he kicks on a bit as he is a very good player.

ffs stop complaining guys! He's both scored and assisted some vital goals for us this season. Admittedly, 15m is a lot to pay but he's improving and fitting into the team more with each game, plus he has massive potential and is 100% Premier League quality. How many of us applauded the purchase of Kevin, who turned out to be a complete waste of time, space and money (how does Orta sleep at night)? I sense Costa will be worth his weight in gold when we go up.

Is he twice as good as Roofe? We paid twice as much as we got for Kemar.
