Summer transfer thread

He'll Kostas more than Lewis and he's not homegrown but I'd imagine Klopp has a list and we can't dither about.

Not sure if deliberate "zing" or not, but Norwich value Lewis at £20m and we aren't paying that for our new Greek pal, so he won't cost more - we'll pay roughly £15m, so that's £5m less than what we would have had to pay.

The James Pearce article says €13m. That's under £12m.

Yeah true, I meant it's more than our £10m bid for Lewis which was of course rejected.

It shows we've got at least £13m to burn though!

We allegedly value Wilson at £20m which seems a bit light but probably realistic.

According to Kostas wiki page:

His energetic, enthusiastic way of playing offers a potent attacking threat on the left wing, and the Greek international is also solid defensively. He's better than relegated Jamal Lewis

That would be great - was going off this -

* Flying to the UK today to complete the move
* Deal is for €16.5m, plus 20% of future sell-on
* Talks ongoing for 10 days
* Tsimikas assured he was first choice ahead of Jamal Lewis

I hope this Kostas fella was always our first choice, would be a tad embarrassing if we're signing him to save £5m on Lewis.

Er ... is that last sentence also from his wiki page Harky?

Looks like Jamal Lewis was used to push this deal through then, rather than the other way round.

According to the wiki he's also 8 ft tall, so I'd take it with a pinch of salt.
