    Oh well we got a fee for him as well he never really got a run in his favoured position but wish him all the best

    So that's now 5 of last summers loans and freebies gone.

    Quality not quantity is what we need.

    Wasn't a player that looked like he would take us to the next level. Hopefully they have an adequate replacement for him unless Cullen is making the step up.

    Real shame that.

    Will Cullen step up now I wonder? ;hmm

    Looked half decent in the very few games he got as a holding midfielder... never would displace obiang though so would always be on the bench...

    He's straight out inferior to Obiang and Kouyate and lacks the passing of Noble

    Cullen and Fernandes are 2 really right prospects at CM so this move makes sense

    Made profit on him (maybe, dunno owhat the fee is) so not all bad

    Would like to know how much he sold for

    Sky reckon £8m

    Ex reckons it's nearer to £5m with conditional add-ons

    Nordtveit was Hitzlsperger without the injury; a good player in the Bundesliga but couldn't transfer his form to the Premier.

    Hoffenheim finished 4th so he'll get Champions League next season
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    £5mil isn't a lot but it's still profit and he was probably on decent wages (£40k odd)

    I'm happy enough with this deal especially if it helps us keep Obiang/Kouyate

    Obiang, Kouyate, Noble, Fernandes and Cullen next year seems alright for me especially given Lanzini and Ayew can play CM

    It's a good deal all round - he and West Ham were not a good fit for each other. It's not often we sell a player for more than we buy them for so it's a great outcome - assuming it goes towards investing in the positions we really need

    Rumours we are offering Obiang a new contract so we have some extra wages to offer him now Nordviets gone ;thumbsup
