WOL on the ball as always.
The article says we’ve not paid any transfer fees this season. I know Tanner was only £50k but it still counts.
Talented #THFC striker Kion Etete will have a medical at #CardiffCity today ahead of completing a permanent move. The Bluebirds have won the race for his signature ahead of a host of EFL clubs.

A later Tweet from the same man says Spurs have insisted on inserting a buy back clause in the deal for a player they still rate a lot - sounds good, but it could mean if he does well, we may have to lose him for a relatively small fee.
Morison's done it again. This guy is like one of the mounties - always gets his man.
Just call me " iN tHe KnOw " lads
In all seriousness, Alex Crook is a dependable source- one of Talksport's actual decent heads. Looks decent at half a mil and they clearly rate him to insert a buyback clause. Very happy.
WOL reporting he's coming for a medical, half a mil with a buy-back clause.
Apologies, just noticed it's been added on the other thread
There is a ****ing thread below this one. What is your game!!
Football of course 😁
Hopefully the buy-back clause isn't too low.
We all know how tough it is to land good strikers at this level so hopefully Etete is what we need. Would be interested to know who else was in for him.
Looking forward to Reading even more now. Welcome to the mad House.
Great news, we all know we needed a Striker, and Morison will know how to use him, fingers crossed he should be ready for Saturday!
pleased by this move - assuming we get it over the line. can see us bringing in an older experienced striker as well to help bring him through
Damn they quick on Wikipedia, someone already put on there that he plays for us
Got to be some jiggery pokery we can do to avoid the buy back
Sell to a sister club with a buy back?
Reminds me of the shithousery we did with the Gabbs and Collins double sale to avoid sell on fee IIRC
Hoping it's not stupidly low, good strikers usually cost a lot of money so even if it was 5 or 6 mil, that would still be low even if it is a healthy profit to some extent.
It feels more like a long-term loan than a purchase when unknown buy-back fees are involved!
I guess Etete would need to agree to being bought back, and considering he'd be miles off a starting spot for spurs it might not be in his interest to go back.
anyway, let's wait until we actually sign him first
Does he only use his tete, or is he good with the ball at his feet aswell?
I've seen it speculated previously that clubs might start to structure deals like this to get around the limits on numbers of loans
That's a good point thinking about it, I guess it's a win for them, and hopefully us if the deal is a good one for us.
