Damn that's a lot of money for him.

 

[Scissors&Tape]

Makes you now wonder the price Leverkusen are pushing towards for Tapsoba.

Edit: meant to quote the tweet that had the VdV numbers...

Those are Euros, so more like £35-40m.

Still, given that Man CIty just spunked twice that, £77.6m (€90m), on Gvardiol, I could see why they are looking to cash in on VdV and Tapsoba

 

[rabbikeane]

More than what was reported thus far.

I assume 20 more than VDV. They'd move the goal post too.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Damn that's a lot of money for him.

And yet our players to sell can only fetch like half the price.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Can see why the delay, getting expensive

They want £43M. That's not outrageous.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

the Gvardiol deal definitely has driven up the asking prices for vdv and Tapsoba. fuck Citeh, cheating twats

This is what annoys me, get charged the earth for players outside the PL yet when it comes to selling, the European teams plead poverty.

 

[Gpnash84]

Fuck sake Levy, price has gone up €15m since you came into the negotiations

 

[Ginola+Tonic]

Got to say that’s a lot for a lad that only has 1 season in top flight football.
With Tapsoba that’ll be nearly £100 million, I can actually see why we wouldn’t do both to be honest

 

[dirtyh]

"easier add-ons" haha. An extra £5m if he walks on the moon probably.

 

[yankspurs]

They want £43M. That's not outrageous.

If Fabrizio is right, they want that with the payment terms we've offered but would accept our offer of £35+5m with easier terms or add ons. Either way, in this market, that's really not a lot. Especially for a club of our size. We only think it is because Levy's conditioned us.

How about just a moonwalk on the skywalk think theyll go for that

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Well, to be fair - a lot of people were thinking we could get VDV and Tapsoba for £80M

 

[Aleks]

They want £43M. That's not outrageous.

he's played 1 season for them and is still raw, of course it's a bit much

 

[GioW]

There's probably better value out there for sure . I just don't trust our ability to find it

 

[Aleks]

Like a lot of people on here were saying he was the "cheap" option, this doesn't feel super cheap

 

[glacierSpurs]

That's why we shouldn't be moaning in getting Vicario instead of Raya. These clubs are all holding us ransom with such ridiculous fees. If there's an alternative LCB which a smoother deal can be done we should jump now and not waste time. Paying close to £50mil for a defender who won't be in the starting XI is unthinkable.

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Well tbf few knew VDV exiisted before we were linked

 

[bbunc]

Wow. That is a lot given his relative lack of experience. One year in a top flight league and not even a senior international yet.

Sutalo for 30 vs VdV for 50? I’m not sure I wouldn’t rather have the former.

nobody can say this is Daniel going for the “cheaper” option.

I’m worried it’s the right one. For 50M and with all of Europe to pull from we ought to be able to get a guy that goes into the starting 11 without even a thought.
