Apolz I know this is the transfer thread just getting excited!
 

:levystare:"Hello Ange, Remember that time you told me you wanted a different centre back in before United?

"Hello Daniel Mate, yeah thats right I cant be having Full backs as Centre backs , not while the windows open" :ange-blow:
:levywtf:"Great, Well I have some great news"
:ange-hmm:"Nice One Mate, You got one of my new Targets over the Line"
:levyeyes:"We'll Kind Of Ange - Just had a Call from the Medical Team VDV is back , he will be like a new signing......... Mate"
:ange-hands-head:"Fuck sake mate, You told me this wouldnt happen"
:ange-pray:"Daniel mate, you there? Strewf Mate , why you hang up for"
 
I think we get him in this week - and then a week of training before United next week - If we dont have a new Centre back in for United then there is no defending Levy!
I'm sure there is many that will carry on defending him. Ange said in the summer window we need another CB, we didn't get one, it's cost us points but people still defend Levy
Ange said he wants players in early, so just one in for the United game is not good enough.
 
If we have put a bid for 25 million Euro's, then I would guess that is the ball park figure.

I haven't seen him play, but I bet people at the club have and have been asked to identify specific players that meet Ange's requirements.

Then pay it, it's not that far off.

I have a lot of trust in Ange, if it is a player he wants, then there is no point quibbling over a couple of million.

You have this idea in your head that we are quibbling or dilly dallying or haggling or whatever over the price, like I said before no-one really know what the hold up is or who's end it's on.

Desperate clubs negotiate like that mate, we're not desperate to point where we overpay, that's what mugs do, why are you so desperate for us to negotiate like Man Utd? We have our price, they have theirs, the vast majority of club negotiate like this and eventually meet in the middle.

As far as I know we have always bought players in in this window at the end of the month so to be this far down the line at the moment is encouraging and tells me this will get done pretty soon.

Like I said before, I can understand if the Genoa were asking for 50 million and our valuation was 25 million. Then yeah, go out and negotiate and don't do a Chelsea.

But we are talking abotu 5 mill and if we meet half way, that is only 2.5 mill, it is nothing.

And for me, that is not overpaying at all. That is pointless quibbling.

Did exactly the same thing over Porro, spent a month doing it and eventually we did a deal that ended up with us paying more than the release clause IIRC.

Spurs must pay Pedro Porro’s £36.7m release fee to land Sporting wing-back

Tottenham complete Pedro Porro signing from Sporting in €45m deal

This is boring man, every club "quibbles" over what their perceived value is, that's why it's called a negotiation!

Anyway here's an interesting question, if you trust Ange after 6 months then why don't you trust our negotiation team seeing as we've done some really good work over the last couple of years including getting players in early in the past 2 years in a Summer window for our managers?

Soloman has barely been mentioned when referencing our injury list, but I thought he showed some really impressive flashes in the limited mins he got for us early in the season.

Aggressive presser, and a good one-on-one dribbler who can go both ways.

The Burnley game in particular I thought he was excellent. He’ll be a real bonus to have within the squad especially with Son out.
