Quote:
They have put slightly less down than us,our deal is good for Ajax in the long term they just want all the fee at once rather than add ons,and before anyone says im passing on what im told.
Archibald's response to the above
not far from correct at all..
its getting closer but Ajax holding out for more..
We hope to wrap it up this week nut may not be announced yet

Not sure how much truth there is in it but some reports saying Barcelona have made a late bid to get him.
The issue must be the fee Levy will be trying to get him for next to nothing whereas Ajax will want a decent fee even though he is out of contract next year

Yeah, we'll probably give him the money for a taxi to the Emirates, just like Petit!How often do we hear that line

If we sign him i will be over the moon fantastic player but still going to be worried that we miss out.

I personally think he (and any sensible, ambitious player) would rather take the risk and see if he can break through and make it at Barca - an amazing city and amazing football club - than come to a side trying to establish themselves in the CL.
Also Puyol is on the decline, Mascherano is being used as CB a lot, Pique fell out of favour too...more than enough chance that Vertonghen could become a regular there.

Few good points there mate
You didn't pay attention to my earlier posts. Those quotes from the Sun were fabricated.

Of course they were, like its fabricated Arsenal, Barca, Madrid <Insert big name club whenever we're interested in any player> and like the quotes from Van Der Vaart all fabricated
