Interesting analysis of the lad.

Think he would fit in much the same way Dier has this year as a 2/3 CB. Left sided CB who would slot behind Jan.You guys don't think Wimmer would walk into the starting 11 over Dier?
Kicker is more reliable than all of the British tabloids put together when it comes to transfer rumors. They usually get their info directly from someone inside the clubs, but £4.3 million banded about sounds too cheap, though. Cologne wanted 10 million euros, so it would be surprising if they settle for only 6 mil.
Wouldn't be surprised if Levy got the price considerably reduced with a sell-on fee, especially with how young Wimmer is. If he continues on his trajectory, with the rates we typically sell our players for, Koln could make quite the profit with such an arrangement.
Don't know if it would be a sell on....we never seem to do those (after we bought out Bale's from Soton).
Wouldn't be surprised if there were performance and appearance clauses (the same way we did with Soldado) though. Or maybe we pay a larger chunk up front rather than over a time span.

The issue I have with this signing is that it means that we won't go for Hector Moreno, which is a real shame, because he, unlike Wimmer, would immediately step in and be the #1 CB at the club. Moreno is hitting top form now that he is healthy for Espanyol and he only has 1 year left on his contract. Would've been a perfect fit considering his history with Pochettino, but probably would've commanded a larger wage than Wimmer and transfer fee.
Depending on how things go with Vertonghen we could still see Moreno coming in at some point.The issue I have with this signing is that it means that we won't go for Hector Moreno, which is a real shame, because he, unlike Wimmer, would immediately step in and be the #1 CB at the club.

Yeah, the fact that contract offer has been sitting on the table tells me something is up.Got a feeling he has been made some sort of a promise. If we don't get CL and we get a good offer he can go.
Think he might struggle aerially in this league, International football is very different to the Prem.The issue I have with this signing is that it means that we won't go for Hector Moreno, which is a real shame, because he, unlike Wimmer, would immediately step in and be the #1 CB at the club.
