Dutch media are reporting that we've already agreed a €12m deal for Ajax captain Jan Vertonghen.
I thought we weren't buying anyone this window? Oh well! Having watched Bassong's awful display wednesday night (I was a big supporter of Seb's but he has been shocking. If I was to point the finger at 1 player, he is the main reason we are looking at Europa League elimination - his mistake for the Rubin goal and at fault for both PAOK goals AND he was captain!!).
Vertonghen is a great player, Belgian international, a leader at the back, can play several positions and is only 24.
€12m is a great price considering what Bolton wanted for Cahill. What's more, we've beaten both Arrse and Chavs to get him, & they've been after him for a while!
