They didnt particularly want to sell Moise Kean but they like to balance their books and having ploughed a load on De Ligt and now just signed the lad on loan at Parma for £35m it wouldn't surprise me if they let him go for a similar fee.

Here's hoping we can get him. I'm sure we have the cash reserves to go above €40m if we have to, as well - if the player recruitment team thinks he's worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dortmund have also signed Haaland this window so wouldn't be surprised if their offer was €40m with a lot of add-ons / clauses etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs like ours don't bang down Juventus's door with hostile bids. FWIW I think he'd be an absolutely tremendous signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wardyfox86 Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 Don't want him, looks poor positionally even in Serie A. That would get exploited 10-fold in the Prem. Looks the opposite of the style Brendan is trying to impose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However as this is a forum we should be free to air our views, just as people are free to frown. Mings is interesting. I imagine he would cost a bundle even if Villa are relegated. Perhaps we should get two CB’s in if Man City are desperate to sign Caglar. However I’m not sure they’d stump up the money we would require to sell, and frankly I wouldn’t want to sell him.

Fox85 Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 I dont want us spending any more than 30m on a CB there is plenty out there that can give our current setup competition.

jeffschlupp Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 Dortmund journo tweets they have no interest and certainly haven't made an offer: https://twitter.com/fluestertweets/status/1213843581292691456?s=19 Goal pushing that Juve won't let him go - worth keeping an eye on their lineup tomorrow afternoon to see if de Ligt is back in or not.

Ruban Diaz from benfica 25-30m Retsos from BLeverkusen 25-30m Upmecano RB Leipzig 25-30m It's surely more important to get the right player even if they cost a bit more. I trust the scouts to know a players value. Plus I always find it a bit odd when people say things like I don't want us spending x amount of money, it's not like they're asking you to pay for it.

If you spend over 25m on a player regardless he has to start every game. Now I'm happy for that to happen but we have the best defence in the league or one of. Let's say we get him in who do we risk on losing there spot Evans?? Not a chance. Soyunchu. Hes not as good as Soyunchu. Go back in the summer and try and get him cheaper or dont bother with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
