Didn't know that we had prior interest in him, but my point was more about trying to scout players and buy them before they reach Virgil Van Dijk 75m quid territory (which HM has no doubt reached since his hyped up WC performances).

Well we do sometimes. Dele of course, Sanchez arguably, Foyth possibly. Though when some inevitably don't work out, we get posters moaning about us going for the cheap option and having deadwood to shift.

he had a very good season at Leicester, he was one of their standout players.
And?

To be a bit clearer I said he was good or that I like him what I was asking is why the hell would they sell to us it's ridiculous.

and I replied because you also typed

"I like HM but buying anyone off the back of the WC is just short sighted"

there apparently was interest in him when at Hull, so perhaps last season and the WC, failure to get other targets has meant going for a previous target.

ITK showing interest in HM = Great news!! Good player!

ITK denying interest in HM = Never rated him anyway
Fixed it for you to be more representative of SC user base. ?

I like the player too, but unless there’s a cheeky clause, or we know TA is definitely leaving for enough cash to fund this move, I would be very surprised.

Jan Vertonghen is 31, HM 25...
so there’s perhaps a degree of future planning involved, never mind covering injuries with flexible players.
I would have thought Foyth was the one being prepped as a long term succesor to Vertonghen.

Grealish camp still expect the move to happen.(y)

Get the feeling the fee will be undisclosed and Bruce was making a statement to appease the fans that their main man was sold on the cheap.

Better hurry up the few will be rising daily and with the new investment and promises might make grealish stay say what you like about him but he is a villa boy and would staying really bother him?

I think Herc mentioned that was going to be the case a while back.
