Bit of a ridiculous comparison. I mean, we can say with pretty much a certainty that Woolwich will sign Rice and Timber and Chelsea will sign Caicedo. Woolwich and Chelsea have held direct talks with both clubs and fees are agreed for all 3 players. It’s a matter of time and they’re all excellent, top level signings.
Meanwhile, we appear to be still faffing about trying to figure out which fee we can eek down lowest for either VDV or Tapsoba, before signing the cheaper option. There’s nothing agreed or seemingly imminent for either player.
