The price is only going to keep increasing the closer we get to the start of the season with no full backs. Clubs can name whatever price they want. This is the cost of not being forward thinking enough and having to release and replace 3 senior full backs in a single window.

this!

We pushed ourselves into a corner and every club knows they can add an extra 10mil to any negotiations....our long term plan for the fullback position has been poor and its costing us ££££ this summer.....
 
They can name their price and we will pay it because there's no homegrown alternative. They know this, we know this, i don't see the point in haggling with this one. May as well stump up the cash now so he can at least have a full pre-season under his belt. He's got an awful lot to learn under Pep, i'd say more so than anybody else last year or anybody we sign this summer and not a lot of time to do it.

personally don't rate him, never have and i won't suddenly change that opinion if he signs for us and i doubt we'd be in for him if we had space for another foreign right back. Just have to hope Pep works his magic with him. I'm sure he'll do okay for us for a few years, particularly against weaker sides where he doesn't have to defend.

Disagree. I think we need to keep haggling until we sign either of Mendy, Walker or Bertrand. Clubs know that we don't have any FBs right now, so if we say fuck it and pay 60mil for Walker, Monaco would be like "hang on minute mate. we want 60 too. it's not like we want to sell". Same with Southampton. If we're able to close at least one deal, say Mendy for €40 mil (£35 mil), it would be huge because it sends out a message that we're willing to pay high fees but not exorbitantly high.
