Largely agree with Deeney here If players don’t drop down a level or 2, or prefer to sit around on the fringes of a PL squad, then you have to question their motivation.

Re: Matt Williams on the transfer window

Schulz is an interesting one. Signed for Dortmund for 25m and was getting in the Germany team but a combination of injuries, the form of Rafael Geurreiro and an accusation of domestic violence saw him frozen out and he never kicked on, just 40 games in 4 years with them.

As part of the Nunes deal, Tommy Doyle is going the other way on loan with a £4.3M option to make it permanent, as per John Percy.

An absolute steal in this market and a move I would’ve liked us to make, certainly at that price.
