They'll have needed to move the likes of Berge & N'diaye on first. It sounds like he had made his feelings clear to MR some time ago.
No way we could turn down £15m. Gives us a few weeks to get in a couple of midfielders.
Really really gutted but I think we’ll end up being stronger in the long run
Gutted. Really gutted. But got to look at the bigger picture. £35m from this window is amazing, and game changing for the club.
Makes absolute sense to get a strong squad, and then makes these financial gains where we can. but gutted...

I don’t see why, given the massive PL windfall they’ve just had and they have spent £10 million on other signings in the last few months. The owners must be massive tightarses…
Fantastic deal. Good chunk up front. Would rather we got the cash for him now than be a prima donna.
Gutted nonetheless, fantastic player, will be a huge miss. Frustrating we only have just over 2 weeks to replace him.

but but but he only wants to go back to the Netherlands…
They wear clogs in Sheffield so he should be ok
£15m is a fair price.... but fuck this stings.
2 Games into the season, and we've already seen how pivotal to this team he is... and now we're selling him on the eve of the first home game.
Pissed me right off

The club have known for months that this was a likely outcome. We will be well prepared I’m sure.
Devastated
Not the modern day parent you thought eh? Still he will be able to fly from East Midlands often enough
Do you not think MR has replacements already lined up? Surely he would have done that as a contingency anyway would'nt he?
Splash that £15m on Kitching, 2 new CMs, and a new attacker.
Last summer we were set to lose O’Hare for about half that money before he tore a muscle and we lost the player while bringing no money in. We managed, somehow.
We will manage this too.

Gutted is an understatement, he’s the heartbeat of our team, right before the first home game which by all accounts will be a near sell out. We just have to hope we recruit a couple a very good replacements.
I’ve seen a lot of conflicting reports. This morning I saw Sheff Utd have moved for Smallbone as Hamer is to expensive.
Also Sheff Utd have sold there best players and have huge debts and an owner thats lost interest or is a bit of a crook. There is also stuff floating around about FFP. There my favourites to be the first team relegated this season.

I bloody hate the transfer window, wish it shut before the first game. Would rather have sold for less earlier in the window and had time to plan accordingly. Losing Vik and Gus is a real blow if this is legit, let’s just get behind the boys and hope Simms and Wright click and that O’Hare comes back a world beater 
Palmer has looked a handful, but we need someone to drive the midfield on and get us on the front foot, that or start finishing our chances

MR has regenerated teams time and again though. Buckle up

15m? Yeah we can't turn that down, not when he won't sign a contract.
Excited to see who we bring in

We will be fine. Trust the process. I'm sure MR will bring in some decent players on the back of this.
No we didn't, but if it was clear he was leaving we could have offered him round. Its likely we missed out on targets to replace him due to dilly dallying over this. We didn't have to have him sold, we needed to know he was going and could have bought replacements.
Absolutrly Gutting. What a player he is. But to get 35m from 2 players we paid a combined 2.5m for is unbelievable business. And we have invested a lot. And I'm sire this opens up mote doors for us to be able to spend more between now and the deadline.
Have full faith in Robins that we will sign some more good players. And have a much more complete squad than last year, even without the 2 star men.
