There will be more signings in the next week or so but it is a competitive market and some will come off and some won’t.

Fair play to Radz and Orta for flying out to Spain to get it done too during these strange times.
Absolutely HO, people keep saying look at JKA, without taking into account Rodrigo is at a whole different level to JKA. JKA was always a gamble (had a very chequered history prior to coming to us) whereas Rodrigo has been close to the top of the Valencia teamsheet for the last few seasons. To draw a PL equivalent, it's be like us signing Martial, or Jimenez or Richarlison, and I doubt there'd have been much moaning if we'd signed any of them
