I’m in the middle on this one. Paying a bit more to get them in early is fine. Buying the wrong guy just because they are available earlier isn’tAgne certainly gets it
Bizzare that some in here don't and insist that's ok to wait until the end of the window....same ones every year as well.
If it means paying a bit more to get them in early, see the big mans quotes above.
Herc has suggested that Ange prefers the Romanian anyway.I’m in the middle on this one. Paying a bit more to get them in early is fine. Buying the wrong guy just because they are available earlier isn’t
1 more CB would be fine. Agree totally re Phillips and Dorrington. No point in having an academy if the products of that have no future path to the first team.It's the bipolar nature of SC.
We've got threads full of people complaining that we're not giving Phillips or Dorrington a chance, then we've got people wanting to buy another 2 top young CB's now.
Why? Different positions. It's not like buying a replacement for CG.If Chelsea move for todibo it makes it easier for us to grab Gallagher

Spot on in my opinion.That reads as bullshit to me. Chelsea still have a ton of money tied up in their CBs and given all their squad building issues I don’t see them making any big moves there.
Yeah but, lads, it’s Chelsea!That reads as bullshit to me. Chelsea still have a ton of money tied up in their CBs and given all their squad building issues I don’t see them making any big moves there.
He’s a top target but sometimes you can go so balls deep and lose out on 2nd Choice and not get first . Can’t put allGood to hear we are no longer chasing lost causes.
Good to hear that we're being decisive and looking to move quickly again.He’s a top target but sometimes you can go so balls deep and lose out on 2nd Choice and not get first . Can’t put all
Our eggs in one basket when the probability of a deal starts to fade. Would take nice to show us some skin quickly for a u turn .
Oh yeah. Whatever happened to him? Has he played well? Don't think we can complain with who we ended up with really!Always felt like the Tapsoba one this
Leverkusen are top of the league, conceeded only a handful of goals and he's played in most of their games. Pretty decent I think. although he will be off to the AfCon this month so a big loss.Oh yeah. Whatever happened to him? Has he played well? Don't think we can complain with who we ended up with really!

It’s not Ange’s eye. It’s Paratici, Gabadinni, etc.Doing really well for Leverkusen. I have to say though, as someone who is a big fan of his, I'm pretty confident he wouldn't have reached the levels VdV reached for us so quickly. Ange's eye for a player has been ridiculous so far. VdV was raw for Wolfsburg yet comes to us and his levels just instantly jumped up and he looks pretty much world class at 22.
Tapsoba would have done well for us but I don't think he could have done as well as VdV, who has been a van Dijkesque revelation.
