I meant we won't spend that much on both. I think VDV is a done deal

Played one side at Torino, opposite side at Ajax, so he's flexible/versatile
Not according to that CP fan thread.
Plays CCB or RCB in a 3 but played LCB and RCB in a 4 for Ajax.
Seems like he's the "plays either side" option like Tapsoba or Tosin.
VDV and Schuurs all dutch incoming has a Vertonghen and Toby vibe to it.
You forgot Maradona...
VDV isn't going for 50m Euros.
They just want the 40m in better installments or threaten to ask 50 over the same isntallments...
VDV will be £34.5m
Schuurs looks about the same.
hardly anyone pissed about and moaned when we paid that for Sanchez.
Regardless, VDV price was always reported in the 30-40m range. It's not even much of a jump to even complain about anyway.
Can you imagine if M'bappe went to Saudi after all?
I really think all notions of what football is and will be would have ceased to exist right then and there.
That's much been my view since the beginning of this exchange.
We could have had Tielemans on loan that Jan; which would have been perfect (an eager to impress Tielemans is a good player; a Tielemans who's subsequently granted a contract is a lazy man)..... Poch wasn't interested.
Could be buying an interesting partnership if we buy both - both played for Dutch u21's between 2018 and 2021 playing 17 times each.
So likely know each others game - which was one of the advantages of Vertonghen/Alderweireld duo who had played with each for years for Ajax and Belgium - which de-risks buying both a lot
I was just trying to be a bit positive, which I accept may be out of step with this thread.
He's the cats whiskers
I said piss & moan; not "pissed & moaned".
It's not the 80s anymore.... Fans are more conscious of how much things cost.
"Not my money" in the 2020s is just selective ignorance (if one is gonna subsequently then complain about not spending enough or having to sell-to-buy).
That's not true.
The initially suggested €25-30m is now reportedly €45-50m (which gels with price hike from Wbergs whch was rumoured earlier in the week and also suggests why the deal suddenly ground to a halt a few weeks ago.)
It's a jump of between €15-25m.
This thread is pure Ange porn.
Also has the hallmarks of the Vicario deal where Leverkeusen won't budge on Tapsoba, so we just quickly pull the trigger out of nowhere on the player out of nowhere.
VDV and Schuurs make it fucking happen bald man.
Never seen either of them play a game but I'd be fuming if we don't do this now.
You really think both are possible?
I can only imagine it would be if van de Ven is seen as more of a left back
Classic Romano.... That second sentence doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.
They need x2 CBs.
Schuurs can play either side.
If our main options at CB are: Romero, VDV, Schuurs, Dier, that's a 4 man CB rotation that can really compete.
You think it's sensible to go into the season with Dier as our 3rd CB, when Romero misses 10 games per season minimum and VDV is a 22 year old project?
Thanks for the info Daniel
