It's rather out of keeping with our usual transfer approach waiting until deadline day to start doing business. I mean I get we may have been in discussions prior to today but just all seems a bit last minute. Did the Matip injury force our hand or were we already looking at options.
We never stop looking at options, it happens all year round.
Most likely is we had to sweeten the deal, hence Van Den Berg going the other way on loan.
Which means extra time again, because the player has to also agree to the loan, then wages etc
