Weird this one as I think he'd want to play every week. Certainly is a ridiculous talent and one I'd love us to sign however.

Maybe after attacking options like Lemar and Keita Balde (likely to be for a 4-2-3-1) fell through we are looking at a CB to play 3-4-3 more regularly?

I'm sure we are in negotiations with other players. If this one is ready to sign why wait?

I didn't mean it in terms of waiting. I just think if money is so tight, spending £25m on a CB might hinder us in other areas.

As long as it means we don't have to settle for cheaper attacking signings I don't care how much we spend on him.

By my calculations we can afford it.

Outs.

Carroll £4.5m (and up to £8m)
Fazio £4m
Bentaleb £16m
Njie £6m

= £30.5m

Walker £45.5m (not including add ons)
Siggy upto £5m (sell on fee)
Wimmer £21m possible (reported)

= £71.5m

Possible sale of Janssen

= £18m??
-------------------------------
TOTAL = £120m

Ins.

Gazzaniga £2m
Right Back £25m
Barkley £25m
King £30m
Sanchez £35m (though more likely £30m knowing Levy)
---------------------------------
TOTAL = £117m

Besides, don't know why Levy is persisting with this zero net spend policy with 2 x years of CL qualification money, enhanced £145m tv deal earnings and a new kit deal worth at least £30m/year.

I think it's more to do with the Rose stuff

He said he doesn't know about Rose. Just in between those 2 tweets

Besides he was angry yesterday for revealing Balde's name. He won't reveal another name like this.

He's saying it's bs imo. And to be honest I don't see us spending that for a backup CB. He's also not the kind of CB we've been looking lately. It doesn't add up anyway I look at it

He liked my tweet about him being the replacement for Wimmer.

I still get the feeling it's bs

Why would we spend that for a backup CB that not even the kind of CB we use?
Unless they are planning ahead because they think Toby will leave

Again, I think you're looking too deep into this, something JJ joked about yesterday. There's truth in the Sanchez story and the RT about not buying the Sun was in reference to the Rose interview.

Occam's razor dude.

Looks like a massive upgrade on Wimmer based on that YouTube video. Has everything needed to be a top drawer CB.

30m is the going rate for back up players. Why dont people understand that?

The going rate. Yet we claimed we were not going to spend while the market was inflated. 30m is what was needed for Balde. I don't buy it. We've been fucking around since may because of prices and now we are going to spend 35m on a backup CB??

If we're going 3 at the back more regular he won't be back-up.

Having a general knowledge on things like this. Buying club agrees 15m euros deal. Agents and club are told to sell it a 35m deal. This would take in wages over 5 years, and any add ons. With bonuses wages per year working out at 4m x 5 years=20m. Not saying that is the case here.

Perhaps it would actually be 15m and we'd likely get that for Wimmer anyway.

Unless we traded them wimmer? Plus 10 mill or so. Good deal all around. Ajax are a decent side for wimmer to get back on track.
