BILD are reporting 6m Euros.

That would be about 4m pound and a very nice deal.

 

[thfc1989]

Our transfers have been so poor in the last 2 years that I am not particularly optimistic about them any more. Let's hope Paul Mitchell can change that and he's not another pointless signing like Stambouli.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a decent defence for a change

Levy's loving that.

 

[IGSpur]

Exactly. This is the way.

As others have said the success rate of big money signings is probably the same as smaller ones there is just more risk of it not paying off but if it does there is more immediate reward. However, small signings can also be flops but not as costly but also if they fit the team correctly and show potential can go on to be as impactful as the big money signing ever could be.

Last season we all including me wanted Musacchio(sp?) He would have cost north of 17m last time I watched Villareal he was on the bench. Humans are so unpredictable. I like this deal

Wimmer: The Spurs are off again

This arouses interest. In the past, clubs of the speech Wimmer be observed intense and feelers for a possible transfer again. The focus has called Tottenham Hotspur.

A change in the winter is certainly off the table. Tottenham will probably try again during the spring and summer. Perhaps screwed Wimmter the market value still in the air. Already a two-digit million sum is standing in the room.

It's ITK poetry and the answer is: Wimmter is coming.

I trust Mitchell to find the right fits for us.

Absolutely. When was the last time we had a rock solid defence in front of a truly world class goalie?

That Google Translate sounds like something Noodles would have made up.

From Bundesliga fans on reddit:

When Kicker and Express agree about a transfer of a Cologne player, you can be 100% sure it's true.

[Kicker is] the most reliable [source] in Germany

 

[carpediem991]

From Bundesliga fans on reddit:

They are very reliable but it is not done until it is on the Spurs/ Cologne website. Even kicker are wrong at times.

 

[shelfboy68]

Lets hope he is the right fit for us we certainly need to improve our defence and its a good price.

Mid-60s when we had Jennings and Knowles, Beal, England and Kinnear in front of him.

Probably under AVB. We had a much more solid midfield in front of the back 4 which is no coincidence.

I found this Koln forum and their fans have been discussing today's 'developments' quite a lot- it's obviously Google translated but from what I can tell, the majority of people have accepted that the deal is done but their main point of discussion/argument is the fee- it seems that some people are happy with the amount they would receive, but others think they should be getting more.
