No chance. It's not happening.

I wish to believe that. Overrated player for 40m+.

 

[g180aj]

He's not actually signed yet, but it's as good as done.

Any idea how far along the stones deal is Ric?

Stones has too many mistakes in him. I just hate overpaying for potential (see Sterling). Simply adds more pressure on these young minds with a huge price tag on their back. Not to mention the media will never stop quoting the sum until every kid who watches football byhearts the price. Why not put hope on Denayar, that he comes good under the training of one of the best manager and coaching staff ?

Guess that means we'll be showing Mangala La Porte so. (see what I did there)

I very much hope Denayer is given a chance next season but with Demichellis leaving and Kompany as reliable as a MK1 Escort and Pep not fancying Mangala then we need to bring in two players.

I also think that given Pep's love for players that can play a number of positions that Denayer will find plenty of games at CB and/or RB.

As for "overpaying" that's very subjective given our increasing revenue for the season just gone and a further increase this coming year through TV money. If they are players that Pep wants and that's the price we have to pay then we wither pay it or go back to plan B's (Sinclair instead of Hazard etc).

I know which problem I'd prefer.
