[Alberts__Lob]

Loan deal complete....with a recall option:

Manure have got away with a cheap deal. They took the p1ss when we were negotiating with them earlier in the window therefor I would have thought a loan fee would have been in order. They can afford it.

It says £2 Million loan fee, £6 Million to make move permanant.

I think it was done more to keep Dubs onside than anything else. Should they come knocking for any one of our players in the future, I hope we have the guts to hike the price over £75m. Everyone else seems to be doing it.

Howe has said it was Dubravka asking for the move and he (Howe) didn't want him to leave. I think Eddie Howe likes committed players, in asking for a move, it's clear Dubravka was no longer that.

If the Mancs don't sign him after the loan is up, I think it's best for both parties that he finds another club. We move on.

I’d be interested to know why he wanted to leave.

It's not so long ago that he was saying that his family were well settled in the northeast

Kal's right...it's kind of a case of spitting his dummy out.

He says he loves the club and the area-and he is (was) settled in the area but he's had his nose pushed massively out of joint by not being Number 1.

He’s not gonna move his family down there as long as it’s just a loan deal, he might just find the grass isn’t always greener and he moves somewhere to be no 1.

Dunno, man...his kid is only one and a half so I suspect they'll all go.
