Fucking hell, only £30m as well, for a full German international. And he can play RB. We fucked up not bidding for him, or outbidding the chavs. We'll rue missing out on him. Hardly ever seem to get it right with defenders do we, only Komps and Zab of recent times have been class. Stones might, but who knows.
We really should be more ruthless, especially when it comes to pissing on Chelsea's jellied eels.
Similar situation to us getting Pep. Loads of clubs wanted him but there was no point in enquiring because he's off to City.It's quite annoying that you're being allowed to make such an unopposed run at him.
