Kevin Wimmer

It does appear that WBA are out of the running, so I'm not as confident in getting more than the suggested 15m

With Southampton signing Hoedt I would guess they are out as well.

Looks like it's down to Stoke or Palace.

Yep. I can see him choosing Palace. Stay in London, work with a respected coach in De Boer and get plenty of game time. Therefore, even if Stoke were to offer more it may not matter as he'd probably reject them.

Crystal Palace - Swansea 0-2
That might speed things up a bit

I'd be surprised if half the PL weren't in for in at the price talked about.

He's going to be a great signing for somebody.

And added another few mill to the price!

Palace fans fear they will miss out because the board is messing around. Staying in London is probably more appealing but Stoke do manage to attract players you wouldn't think they are capable of getting.

Bargain for them. I hope shinehead sealed a nice sell-on %.

 

[mckenz]

Good luck big Kev....

Think he'll do great at Stoke, not quite dynamic enough for Poch's backline ideas but a good player non the less

 

[DaniLeves]

Hope he gets the playing time he deserves. Will definitely flourish with the right situation

 

[bubble07]

Had high hopes for big kev when he filled in for Jan

 

[ShaunL84]

Only £15 million?

Wimmer is a top class centre back, I really hope this deal has a selling-on clause or a buy-back option.

 

[ChristianBaler]

Top class? He's a solid squad player

He's proved his quality when he was given a run in the side, we didn't miss Vertonghen.

Wimmer is a starter for most sides in the league, I think he'd be a great player for Arsenal or Liverpool.

 

[the lad]

£15 million is far too cheap in the current market, should be at least £25 million plus. I hope we have first option on him and sell on clauses inserted .If Toby does a runner we will need him back.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Wimmer and Carter-Vickers clearly off. Not even on the bench but Sanchez is.

CCV is on loan

So it was clear, then.

If he is top class, we wouldn't sell him. He is a serviceable player but not too class.
