This signing really came out of the blue. As soon as it came out, he already did his medical. In this social media age, have any signing been as surprising as this? The last surprise signing I remember was Eduardo.
If we keep Vermaelen, the only signing we need now is a central midfielder. That would make it a 9/10 summer. (The last 1 point for our almost impossible striker signing). I really didn't expect us to sign 4 players before August, let alone in this window.
