Might be a medical tomorrow, would be touch and go for international clearance to play on Sunday.
Well presumably this will have been in the works for some time as a marquee signing compared to the others. This isn’t quite Sunderland splashing £3 million on Will Grigg.The more i read into this the more bonkers it seems (for us). We've apparently been looking at players like Vente and Dragus and have now put in a bid at a much higher rate than the figures rumoured for those two. On the face of it, really exciting to see us spending this kind of money but it does feel a bit 'shit or bust' this season now. Going to be an exciting start to the season watching all these new players come in and settle/adjust....a far cry from Mowbray only being able to spend his pound once or scratting around for the likes of Barrett and Maguire-Drew on loan.
Ridiculous we can spend this amount on this guy and not give Hamer what he wants. Ridiculous.
Van Ewijks has come through in just 3 working days. Its the work permit he needs anyway not the cleaeranceMight be a medical tomorrow, would be touch and go for international clearance to play on Sunday.

They had bids rejected according to reports.
Well at the suggested figures he was overpriced, no?Burnley probably would only let him go if we included hamer
WrightyWhats his nickname then? Anyone thought of any good ones?
Maybe dragus was also in the plans as well as this guy , can't see us going from 1 extreme to the other, maybe we wanted both . Vente I believe now was never a thingThe more i read into this the more bonkers it seems (for us).

Would not be surprised!Reckon this could be a massive wind up to get him somewhere out of Turkey
HeightyWhats his nickname then? Anyone thought of any good ones?
GrendelIf this is true, I strongly suspect that we have a silent partner/s involved with financing the club.
Any ideas about who that might be?
Doubt they can afford him. The airport does offer direct flights to Holland though.We were still hoping Gus was staying at Exeter.
Its reliable journalists reporting it though not bedroom teenagersReckon this could be a massive wind up to get him somewhere out of Turkey
Think Doug King has said most of it will go on squad strengthening, still got plenty left and loans.Well if it's £7m baseline fee then that'd take the spending to about £15m all in. Either way it would look that MR is being given the vast majority of the fee to work with.

It was, went everywhereDisgusting
With this sort of backing is MR under pressure to deliver? It looks like King is serious, and has already said he's looking at playoffs three out of five seasons. We've not been in this sort of position for years. It will be interesting to see what happens.
If this comes off and turns out to be true the I nominate Saddlebrains to issue BJs as well as Hand Jobs , I’m sure he won’t say no
Not sure he will be tbh , the team will get better over the next couple seasons with so many new faces in the starting 11 ..if we are to go up this year that's a bonus I suppose .. we've secured a solid base for the next 3 or 4 years to work from
Agreed. This is the first signing I feel slightly apprehensive about. Although it will be exciting to have a signing on the worst championship transfers list of all time, if he does flop!The simms and van de wijk signings felt … weird but in an exciting way … this just feels nuts and the pressure on the lad (and robins) to deliver will be huge
I would like it ofcourse , I also said he other day in the prediction thread NEXT year might be the one for usYou'd expect top 6 with the amount being spent on the squad
