I agree that there are more obvious areas for improvement. I think this is one of them signings where you realise sometime after why we signed them.

It could just be ajax themselves just trying to drum up business, they have accepted he will leave and want the most money now.

Pretty sure we're all excited about getting the guy. It's just the 'blowing most of the budget' when we've not strengthened elsewhere that worries us.
We've been pretty much bang on net spend for years now so 40-50m doesn't leave us with much for, in my opinion, more pressing areas of the squad.

That is no way to treat an old friend.

Still think it's a lot of money, and if Chelsea do come in and throw big cash at it, we should move on quickly and not get into a war with them. Hopefully we're a strong enough draw on the football side, to warrant Sanchez (or others) to insist on us.

I'm sure most people don't know what our finances are and what we have available to spend. Besides we'll only pay so much up front and the rest over the next few years. I really don't undersatnd why people worry too much about what we spend on players. If we didn't have the money for him and others we wouldn't even be this close to signing him.

Because of precedent.
If we sign this guy for 40-50m I think we'll make a compromise elsewhere in the squad.
I'd rather that CB was that compromise, but I really don't want to debate that. It's just my opinion.
Maybe we have loads more money than I think, and I'm wrong. If so, I'd obviously be delighted.

Well it seems we were ready to splash out on Balde and we're still chasing Barkley so I guess we still have plenty to spend. I don't not think the numbers quoted for Davinson are right anyway. Maybe more like 35m euros.

Lost. Probably Not Worth Finding.

Agree. Maybe 40+ total possible package. If he has decided he wants to go, has turned down other major clubs as reported then I think this is 100%. Ajax will try and stir up a bidding war in the hopes someone tempts him but they know they can't match wages.

That's what I don't like about Ajax , always trying to take Danny Boy's cash for duds like Eriksen, Verts and Toby

Yes which is why I feel it is essential we bring in a Walker replacement, good as KWP was today. Having a genuine option of reverting to a back 3 will be key to breaking down teams that clog the midfield. Too many times it happened last year and cost us points - WHam away, WBrom away, Bournemouth away, Sunderland away, all back 4's - and today threatened to be a repeat before Shelvey did us a favour.

Barkley would be an extra central body
You're probably right and I'd deffo take him!
