NOTW saying £8mill for Vertonghen will be comfirmed this week

It's behind a pay wall, copy and paste? 8m sounds like a great fee, much better than 17m for Cahill surely. But NOTW - hard to trust.

Heading for the City... Vertonghen


ROBERTO MANCINI will begin his summer spending this week by confirming the signing of Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen.

The Manchester City boss has pipped Arsene Wenger in the race for the 24-year-old, who had also been tracked by AC Milan.

The Ajax centre-half will cost £8million - confirming City's claims they will not be focusing purely on stellar signings.

Mancini has checked on Vertonghen and is impressed by his versatility because he can also play on the left side of defence.

Arsenal manager Wenger considered pairing him with Belgium team-mate Thomas Vermaelen at the back.

But Mancini has been the more decisive and City hope to announce the deal later this week.

Chairman Khaldoon al Mubarak has insisted there will not be any lavish outlay this summer.

Mancini, though, has a list of targets and is likely to try to prise Leighton Baines from Everton.

Baines's team-mate Jack Rodwell is also being monitored, but City will not pay £20m for the relatively unproven England Under-21 midfielder

8m would be an absolute steal for a CB of his quality. We're finally getting the CL prices that the other elite clubs get.

Boateng must be out if this is the case.

That would be a shame as i feel Boateng will be a great centre half,however,this signing,if true,suggests you may be right.

or maybe we are exspecting kolo to get a sizeable ban leaving us with
rb-Richards-zabaletta
ch-Kompany-Boyata
ch-Lescott-Boateng
lb-Kolarov-Vertonghen

would be a better deal than 17mill for cahill and good cover across the back for as we look a bit thin at the min with ban's and injuries

That's defense sorted then.

Isn't this lad good enough to partner Vinny though?

Vertonghen is a center half. He isn't quick or agile enough to play LB except in emergencies.
