My guess is we would have bought Vertonghen if he was super cheap. He'd have been good cover and left back contender.
Wenger probably verbally mentioned a stupidly low figure to Ajax seeing as he was in the last year of his contract. As soon as Spurs came in with a major offer Wenger didn't follow up his interest.
He wanted to play CB do you think he'd have been 1st choice here, he did not want to play LB, and i doubt he would have wanted to be cover for gibbs, so what sense did it make to go in for him anyways.Originally Posted by Grebbo
Top footballers have massive egos and self confidence - that's how they get to the top. In his mind he'd have thought he's better than Merts or Kos and would therefore get in the team. He plays LB for his country so I'm not sure why he suddenly wants to be a CB anyway.
Anyway, we didn't even bid for him. He's just trying to win over the Spurs fans. I remember Zakora said similar and look how good he turned out to be....
Fellaini is way out of our price range, I reckon he'll go to Man United. He'll cost around 25mill.
I'll be utterly shocked if a top team decided to buy him. In the same way I knew nobody decent would buy Dempsey. Only player worth considering from Everton is Baines.
Spuds will probably spunk £20mill on him. Or Pool to replace Stevie Me, in which case the price will be £277mill.
Für eure Sicherheit
It would probably take £277m for them to sell him to us though.
I would prefer £270m + £7m add ons though. Just incase...
Demba Ba is available for £7m in January, has scored goals in England for both West Ham and Newcastle.
We need a striker
Done deal surely
Id take him here tbh and that would be a great bit of business tbh.
£40m and hes theirsLiverpool are on alert after Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger indicated he could sell winger Theo Walcott, 23, in January.
