Paying 7m for a lad from the Championship that has a contract ending in a few months? We would be taken to the cleaners!
De Jong was in a similar situation at Hamburg and we paid more than twice that amount for him.

Well since he's under 24, we would have to pay Boro a fee decided by a tribunal anyway, even if we wait until his contract expires. And that fee, with add-ons, would probably be around the £5m mark. So why not pay a couple of million more to get him now, before interest in him intensifies? We would only be "taken to the cleaners" by wankers that are clueless about football.Somud said:Is it a joke?

If we get him and he hits the ground running, then i would say he has an outside chance of making the world cup squad.

different type but he is quick and and technically sound would be a good signing even at the £7mill being touted, will be a top player and will offer more on the left than petrov and robinhoOasis_City said:Is he as good as milner?
