The Athletic reporting Trafford has completed his medical and deal is close to being finalised. Finally.

Yep, doing his media duties at ER today (actually all done and he has gone home) . Announcement imminent.

Finally!!

Finally?
What has he missed exactly? A few shirt-sale friendlies. Now he will be rested and raring to go at the pointy start of the season. Hopefully he will be with us for ten years, making the 20% sell-on clause meaningless.
Brilliant signing. He has definitely upgraded our team to date. Four or five more of a similar ilk and we're pushing the best window to date.

Already an amazing window with more to come, hopefully.

Great to have a long term top keeper. Thrilled with all three so far. One more top striker, a few fillers, and I'm chuffed, Chappy.

Teams who can't defend go down. We have a better keeper, defence, and forward line than last season. Yes, we need backups, but we have a far better starting lineup than last year, so I don't understand the talk of relegation. The reality is that, whatever we did in this window, there would always be moaning fans, as there are every window.
We've bought 4-5 players who significantly improve the squad, got rid of some dead wood, and held onto our best players. That's a pretty decent window, in my eyes, and there are still a few days left.

If you look at Okafor's stats from last season, he played substantially more minutes than during any other season of his career. He also averaged 72 minutes in the games he started. A decent return for a high intensity role.

I never really understand the talk of Okafor only lasting 60 minutes. It's always been Farke's tactics to swap wingers around 60-70 minutes, way before Okafor joined, so I think it's more down to tactics and strength in depth rather than him not having the legs. Alongside Wilson, he's the player most likely to create something out of nothing, so I'd be happy going into the season with him starting, then Gnonto, BA, and DJ as options to come off the bench.
I think recruitment has been top notch this summer, arguably the best in the league. Backups are still needed in a couple of positions, but our strongest 11 looks far better than it has for 25 years. I'm personally very happy with what we've done so far and trust the recruitment team to finish the job over the next couple of weeks.

£6.5mil according to The Athletic.

Sounds more realistic, and more than he's worth to us, so I'll take it.
