Just managed to speak to my colleague after being ignored this weekend! Here's a brief summary:
Vertonghen is pushing for the deal but respects the club too much to request transfer. He thought it would be done by now but Ajax moved the price up. Somewhere around 10.5-11should settle it, they dont want less than 10. 2-3 days if that
He did say Modric will probably go to fund deals for Remy and Adebayor - I asked why Modric and he said opinion, one of him or Bale probably need to go but will be abroad unless City offer silly money and/or players
Asked about Lloris. Just said he's been looked at
Also said Dembele is being seriously considered as well
Wouldn't say much more apart from 2/3 deals before Euro's start
Also said he thinks Harry will stay
Nothing groundbreaking or too sexy...
good news if it comes off. i don't reckon we need anything 'groundbreaking or sexy'. we finished 4th, afterall. remy, vertonghen, and adebayor on a permanent would be a great bit of summer business. if modric must go, send him abroad and get sahin or the funds necessary to get another player his style. we'll certainly miss him, but that's what happens when you miss out on champs league. if he's the biggest loss and we get the 3 mentioned +1 in, i reckon we're improved from a year ago.
