The reality is that taking all the points I made in mind, he's really a £40 mil player at the most, but with other suitors helping to up the anti, we're heading towards 'world class' prices.

Both lads now on yellows.
Papa Poch, also known as the most carded player in Espanyol history probably has a massive stiffy now.
Fingers crossed this finally gets him off our books. Good luck Vinny!
If the rumors of Poch wanting to give Nabil a second chance are true we could/should try and work that into the deal.
Agreed. His stock is relatively high at present and if we want him we may have to fork out. It won't be silly money however and personally I think a fee around the £55m mark would be more than enough for Celta Vigo to think they're getting a good deal, especially as Jovic has signed for Real Madrid at the £60m mark and De Ligt is being linked at £62m.
The issue I see us facing is the sell on clause PSG will be juicing from them. That hits us pretty hard as £55m soon turns into the early £40m ball park which when you take off the fee they've already paid PSG of £25m doesn't leave them with a tasty profit for their troubles with all things considered
I respectfully disagree. I think Harry and Dele up top is an awesome, bruising forward line well prepared to batter any opposition any number of ways. It's also probably the best we can do given Levy-nomics. But definitely nothing we should be ashamed of, much less take for granted...
People on Twatter really are the thickest.
Don’t they ever think that if we don’t sign him, then everyone will ram this down our throats on a daily basis.
Nice picture though.
I want Levy to go balls deep on Ndombele, but agree on Lo Celso. Reeks of a team taking advantage (as is their right) and trying to sell a player during a ‘bubble’.
He got absolutely pumped in the City game. Don’t think it’s the right move for us.
Id rather we stick to 40 mill. If that's not enough we simply walk away and look elsewhere. 40 mill is massive for Lo Celso
Respectful disagreement welcomed.
Bruising? Really? Is Dele gonna go back to breaking folks' knees? but by all means let's go back to the future during this re-build. I'm sure that's exactly what Poch was referring to in his comments.
Would love for you to fill us in on maybe a couple or 3 of these 'battering ways', especially without improving the MF to actually transition the ball from our own area and distribute it. That is unless those two are going to develop the ability to create their own goals (I type that as Aguero picks the ball up in the attacking third and dribbles 30yds by his CB and score all by himself) because defenses will squeeze us tight without fear in behind or being beaten with the ball...like the CL final.
Very good for our negotiations tbh. Argentina international duty seems to have a habit of making players look worse than they are.
Much better than him setting the Copa America on fire.
The power of Daniel Levy..
He told him to play shit so he can put a £15m bid in.. All part of the master plan.
If Eriksen is off to Real Madrid, how about we push for this kid at part of the deal? He was on loan at Borussia Dortmund last year and has bags of potential:
If all else fails with a move for Lo Celso, Hakimi & Ceballos wouldn't be a bad deal out of a not so great situation of Eriksen wanting a move. He can play both as a left back and right back so he'd offer the versatility Poch loves as well.

Good find. Looks a big prospect. Confident, full of tricks and running ability. A sort of mobile Dele.
