Still not completely sold on the idea mind. Especially not at the rumoured fee. But of course, one could take that with a large handful of salt.

I've wrote it already, he played DM in first Bosnia vs Portugal play off (one for World Cup as they have beat us in EURO play off too).
He had all our team in the pocket and we were free-scoring back then just as we are now :)
He's better DM than most of full time DMers.

I hadn't read your post, so not trying to take credit and just pretending to have some footballing knowledge. :)
Not sure if it's him or the rumoured fee that bothers me.....or possibly both.
TH I think said we were pretty serious about him.
To be fair we've had the media quoting £30m for every player we've signed, and they've all signed for a lot lower than reported.MSP said:Yea, reported numbers are bit high for player of his age.
adrianr said:Forget the fee, would he improve the team? Unequivocal yes from me. I think Nastasic is a true boss, but he's not ready to lead a defence on his own. Lescott for his age and experience also can't, Kompany is the only one who can. Pepe would be another. Given Kompany's patchy injuries, that alone could be worth its weight in gold. No longer dropping ten points if he misses a run of matches.
