Usual media bollocks trying to send him to the rag shit, as usual. If he does go there no doubt he'll be hailed as the best English defender since Bobby Moore and worth every penny of the £85m.
Either he's good enough for us or he isn't. Cost shouldn't come into it, if those twats can pay £85-£90m so can we. If he's not good enough for us then he's not worth whatever we'd pay, find someone else.
What we don't want is for Pep to really want him but we baulk at the fee. It makes us look smalltime and sends the wrong message to other players (unambitious, relatively low payers), media (smaller club than rags/scousers) and rival clubs (pay £5m more in a bidding war and they'll see us off).
If Pep wants him, negotiate with Leicester if it's just us really after him, or pay £1m more than rags offer them. We should NEVER be bullied/gazumped by that bunch of shit bastards at Trafford.
