Reported on a Montpellier website that the transfer is complete. "FOOT: MOUNIE'S SALE SHOULD RELEASE MONTPELLIER Goal scorer Steve Mounié is sold for € 13m, plus € 3m in bonus, to the English club Huddersfield. This record sale should allow the MHSC to accelerate the transfer market. Montpellier is still looking for a goalkeeper, a central defender, a defensive midfielder and an attacker. The struggle is still underway with Dijon concerning the arrival of goalkeeper Baptiste Reynet and several tracks are evoked for the position of defensive midfielder (Vincent Marchetti of Nancy, Rene Krhin of Granada ...). The central defender should be the Swiss international Johan Djourou (30 years, 69 selections). The MHSC can also take its time in the sale of Ryad Boudebouz to await the most tempting offer." www.lagazettedemontpellier.fr/3134/revue-de-presse-du-jeudi-22-juin.htmlIf it's true I hope he's a great signing because that's a lot of brass. Looks to have all the qualities of wood plus a few more skills and a 3 less years of age.

Also reported in l'equipe online that it should be done in the few days and he's coming over for a medical. That was this afternoon Unlikely now, but even if for some reason we don't get him, the fact that we can pay that amount of money is astonishing. Only a handful of clubs in Germany are forking out that sort of cash at the moment, certainly no more than 5 or 6 (though that opinion might have to be revised with the Bundesliga clubs' new and better TV deal this summer, and even so, I bet Stuttgart won't spend that sort of money even with their share of the increase). Still can't quite get my head around the fact that Town are in a position to outbid big French and German clubs to players' signatures now. Surreal, but I like it, if only for the initial novelty :-) It's strange, brilliant and ever so slightly disconcerting at the same time!

Reported here on France 24. I'd say its a done deal as the French are open with transfer dealings. There must be a catch. Knowing how careful we are with our money you would have thought there would have been long and extensive checks on his ability to play in a Wagner team and with the sort of character and attitude that Wagner demands. You are almost wanting to see the finished product for that sort of price. The ideal for DW in wanting us to play like B. Dortmund must be Aubameyang, so this lad must be very similar in potential. Deeply exciting if correct news. all players have a cost and a future value, if Wagner thinks his future value could be 50 mill it fits his strategy and track record. ie Kacha cost 1 mill worth 5+ mill now?

Which by the time it goes through will be the equivalent of £17 million. Aye the pound's struggling for sure, but I thought it had been holding it's own over the last few days :-) hopefully Dean bought euros before the collapse. It would have been good sense.

Believed to be short of the €10m price tag on his neck at this stage. And how much are they wanting for his head? Didn't realise we had to buy them in parts and construct our own. Mind, if we can buy Andy Carroll's head and stick it on Collin Quaner, that might be worth £10m Can we have it without the pony tail/bun thing?

Would have thought £5 million starting price for any of our starting 11 in the play off final?

I see Will Hughes has left Derby for £4.5m (possibly riding to £7m). Considering he is thought of quite highly that seems a steal - whoever negotiates Derby's deals must be a real chump.

Certainly makes you wonder if they are concerned about FFP. Spent big for the last 4-5 seasons and aren't shy when paying wages either. As others have said, this could play into Towns hands re Ince. Go to The Kings Bar, have a nice cold pint and wait for all this to blow over. Come back and we've got Ince for the princely sum of 500k

While talking other clubs - why would Villa pay Terry £60k a week?
His legs are going. He's an old head but seriously in decline. He isn't a flair player, he's not a popular player. He won't boost attendances or sell thousands of shirts. The pace of the Championship will only expose him more. It's a ridiculous signing but if it comes off.

If we get ince it'll be no where near ten mill. Edit - apologies I just quote anything sometimes!!

Please can you explain how you felt about Keigan Parker? I was even positive about him. I always think the next player could be the one we've been waiting for, even old Parker. He did score a sublime goal at the walkers stadium when we still had a chance of promotion (we lost 3-2 though I believe)

I really hope Mounie is a done deal. Don't know why, but have good vibes about this lad. Want him more than any other supposed target at the mo. Feel sure we may get two of the four loans back, personal choice Mooy and Palmer, though it's a close run thing between the Chelsea lads. Williams yes, and lord knows regarding centre backs and keeper, but need at least one of each, even assuming Stankovic fit. I'll live with the above if it happens, Ince and anyone else would be a bonus on top of that. (PS. My names Steve)

I presume that they think his top level awareness and positioning will mean that he is in control. If that's not there then he will be exposed. People underestimate the championship, but the quality of the whole championship has improved vastly over just the time we have been back in it. A lot more ball on the deck and fast paced games.

Throw cash at experience... Or blowing your brains out as someone far smarter than me recently put it.
